Hi,

If I have 2 separate index patterns, is it possible to merge them into 1 index pattern that contains both/all the data.

Or if that is not possible, is there a way to take the data contained in both and create a new index pattern that contains both sets of data?

Thanks

Hi @hNiven

What version are you on?

And Yes you should be able to simply put 2 patterns separated by a comma when you create an index pattern

`my-index-*,other-index-*`

Hi @stephenb

I am using v 8.2.0 and this solution has worked.

Thank you
