I created an index named prova:

When I try to create an index pattern as prova\*, it doesn't match with any index while I would expect it matched with index prova mentioned above:

What should I do to map index prova into a pattern and then use it in kibana?

@jeipo_91 do you already have any data inside your `prova` index? In case you don't, could you please try to add some data into it before you try to create an index pattern?

Thanks a lot @tiagocosta, sorry for obvious question but I'm really beginning… Thanks again!
