I had created an index in Elasticsearch thru. script. It is showing up
in Monitoring console of Kibana.
If I go to Management console of Kibana I tried to create index pattern
by searching the index which I have created thru script. But index pattern creation screen did not show my index. Further it is also not showing up in Kibana discovery tab
----------my index creation script it is successful
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/fassicountry -d '{
"settings" : {
"number\_of\_shards" : 1
},
"mappings" : {
"metric" : {
"properties" : {
"STREAM\_OPERATOR" : {"type": "text" }
}
}
}
}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Hi @Krishna2,
Does this index contain any documents? If the index does not contain any documents, the index will not appear in the index pattern creation wizard.
