Hello
I am not sure whether i can ask this here. Just trying my luck here.
I am integrating Grafana with ElasticSearch. In the Grafana screen, i need to give the ElasticSearch details.
What is the value for Index?
This is what is in my logstash config
```
if "_grokparsefailure" in [tags] {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "84.210.206.233:9200"
#protocol => "http"
#port => 9200
#cluster => "elk_cluster"
index => "cmdc2-error-%{cmdcLogId}"
document_type => "error_logs"
codec => "json"
}
} else {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "84.210.206.233:9200"
#protocol => "http"
#port => 9200
#cluster => "elk_cluster"
index => "cmdc2-log-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{target}_logs"
codec => "json"
}
}
}
```
Should i give the value cmdc2-log-%{+YYYY.MM.dd} as index in Grafana page?

Hi @Roshan_r,
do you use Kibana at all? You can use the same _index pattern_ in Grafana.
For you `cmdc2-*` should work if you want to be able to query all ES indices from the same Grafana query.

Yes. I use Kibana.
Please find attached the indices used in Kibana

Ok. I can see the error gone after using cmdc2-\* . When i enter @timestamp in Time Field name.. i got an error saying "No date field named @timestamp found) . Any idea where i can get the correct field name?

Which field does Kibana use for `cmdc2-log-*`? Use the same in Grafana.

This is what I have in Grafana
So, maybe set `Pattern` to _No pattern_ as well.

I have fixed it. I deleted the field and manually gave @timestamp and it worked.
Many many thanks for your help
