While creating the Control visual in Kibana, I am facing "No matching indices found" error everytime I create a new visual. The index which I am using is totally different than the indices shown in the error.  
Please refer the error screenshot below: -

Is your cluster health yellow or red ? If it is can you resolve it ? you can also look at Indexes which are showing up as yellow in IndexManagement and see if these indexes are having issues and resolve it.  
This is not a solution but will probably help in narrowing down the problem

Yes I have found that in the Index pattern page I have many index patterns for which there are no indices in the Index management. Hence, it is throwing this error in visual.
