Hello I am adding data with a java application to several elasticsearch indexes, I see that the number of documents increases but they are not refreshed in my Kibana dashboard. I imagine that there is some problem in the configuration of some parameter. Could you give me a hint? Thanks ---

They don't show up anywhere in Kibana? Even discover? Normally I would check what time field you have set for your index pattern and make sure your time picker (upper right) is set to an interval where you have values in that time field. ---
