Newbie question - ES2.2 and Kibana 4.4.1
I am following "Getting started" guide.
Loaded accounts and logstash sample data.
Added 2 indices for them - I see the fields, set @timestamp.
I see indexes and docs are OK in ES.
I still see "Warning: no default index pattern" - and I tried the green star to set default index to ba\* or logstash-\*
Trying "discover" keeps saying: "Please specify a default index pattern".
Restarting kibana doesn't help.
Error: Please specify a default index pattern

...
How to fix this? I don't see any other way to set the default index...

Is it saying this on the Discover page? If so, just go to the Setting page, select an index and click the green star to make that the default one.

Something was messed up with my installation on Ubuntu (I upgraded from older ES/Kibana).
I tried on different VM and everything works as expected.
All good...
