Index pattern are shown only after elasticsearch index started to be populated

[anon24174512]

Hello,

If I create an index with this kind of query :
curl -u elastic:elastic -XPUT $elastic_host:$elastic_port/$index1

Right after the index is not proposed in Kibana when going for creating an index pattern. Once I started to populate it, the auto-discovery proposes me to add the index. If I enter directly the name of the index, it does not find the index.

Is it the normal behaviour ?

Thanks

Yes, only indices that contain documents are proposed in the list.
