Hi,
I want to create an index with name xyz-yyyy-MM.
Index Name should be like : xyz-2020-01
xyz-2020-04
xyz-2020-12
xyz-2021-05
I want to add these index into one in this pattern "xyz" with "\*"
Will it be possible to make an alias index with **xyz** without star?
Kindly Help.
Regards,
Tahseen

Try this to create an alias `xyz` and then add an index pattern based on this alias
```auto
POST /_aliases
{
"actions" : [
{ "add" : { "index" : "xyz-*", "alias" : "xyz" } }
]
}
```
