Hello!

I would like to ask question regarding to kibana 4.

I got my elasticsearch and kibana installed on CentOS 6.

elasticsearch-1.5.0-1.noarch  
kibana-4.0.1

However there seems to be a indice that kibana does not recognize  
although it exists in elasticsearch.

[root@web elasticsearch]# curl localhost:9200/\_cat/indices  
yellow open logs 5 1 4894 0 1.3mb 1.3mb  
yellow open kibana-int 5 1 4 0 49.7kb 49.7kb  
green open personal 1 0 60 0 47.2kb 47.2kb \<- This is the  
target index  
yellow open .kibana 1 1 4 0 23.5kb 23.5kb  
yellow open household 5 1 200 0 226.8kb 226.8kb

But from the kibana interface, whenever I input "personal",  
it says "Unable to fetch mapping. Do you have indices matching the pattern?"

Is there any setting that I can look at to overcome this issue?

Thanks,  
Yu

household and logs were properly recognized by kibana.

Check that you have unchecked some checkboxes and that your Kibana dashboard settings looks like this [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/images/elk-stations/settings-set-index.png](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/images/elk-stations/settings-set-index.png) [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/images/elk-stations/settings-set-index.png](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/images/elk-stations/settings-set-index.png)

It should work fine.

Thank you for the reply.

But no use. Still does not show any signs for "personal" indice.

Thanks

I just experimentally updated the indice and now kibana 4 recognize the  
indice.  
It looks like some setting changed active after the update.

Strange but now it works...
