Hi,
I Configured Elasticsearch(6.1.3) and kibana(6.1.3) in docker, both are running in separate containers , now the issue is i couldn't find .kiaban index in elasticsearch.
what mistake i have done?
curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v)
output of above command is

Nothing, after creating one index-pattern .kibana created automatically how it is related ??

I believe Kibana creates the `.kibana` index when you first start using it, which is why you do not necessarily see it from the beginning.
