Whenever I'm creating an index from dev console, I'm not being able to find it while selecting an index for discover or visualization.

First error is a warning. Provide a type is deprecated so you can try this instead :  
PUT name/\_doc/2  
{ ... }

In this case you force the identifier to 2, my advise is to let elasticsearch manage you identifiers when it's possible.

If you want update a document you have to use this:  
POST name/\_update/2  
{  
"doc" : {  
"name" : "new\_name"  
}  
}

To use an Elasticsearch index in Kibana, you need to [create an index pattern](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.2/index-patterns.html).
