Hello, I'm new to elastic, tell me if it's possible to do such a thing, create an index pattern, for example “index-\*” without adding %{+YYYY.MM.dd} , but so that an index like this is automatically created on the onset of a new day - “index-2022.02.09” , and so every day, I need to do this to visualize the data, thanks in advance ---

Can you clarify where you want this index pattern? ---

To create dashboards, when the index is created by the day, you need to constantly change the index pattern, this is not very convenient, or is there a way to automate the replacement of the index, I will be grateful for the hint ---

Index pattern of “index-\*” doesn't work? ---

Let me explain with a screenshot what I want, using the wazuh pattern as an example ![wazuh alerts](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/d/4d1646c74db7af5713c569b843d78fc813c831b3.png) ![wazuh alerts 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/f/bfcca7e33ebea963d1644f7d84205e9d7cca270b.png) ---

Which index do you want to select by your index pattern? Do you want just select the latest index like `wazuh-alerts-4.x-2022.01.02` on Jan 02? If so, you may use "wazuh-alerts-4.x\*" and filter by date. I'm not sure I caught what you want. ---

Here, look, in the kibana visualization, I can specify this pattern (wazuh-alerts-\*) which will include all previously created patterns by day ![dashboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/3/633bd72a4bce879d9f9dcfe00529a7f0f3fbe66f.png) ---

What is the problem? Which index do you want to select by your index pattern? ---

In this case, I will select wazuh-alerts-\* and I can easily filter events in it, let's say 2 days ago, but these are wazuh indexes, it creates such a pattern automatically, I want to understand how to create such a template and filter them by day as I want, instead of creating a new index for each day ---

Hmm, I'm not sure I get exactly what you want. I got you want to create index pattern from new indecis created some day. But anyway, creating index pattern automatically is very difficult. > [@How can i create Index patterns in Kibana Automatically Every Day](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-can-i-create-index-patterns-in-kibana-automatically-every-day/227578): > > My indexes are created every day like xxx-yy-mm-dd, how can I create index patterns automatically without my involment .Because every day i have plenty indices from elastticsearch and i am manually creating all the index pattens in Kibana it is so much time consuming process.Can anyone helpme out of this how can i create Index patterns in Kibana automatically? ---
