When using Kibana to create an index, it is created manually every time, but because I have more machines, I want to automatically generate an index by calling the API. Is there a corresponding API interface that allows me to call? ![kibana_create-index-pattern](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/f/8fd0e89f2d9a61475951d5114a3e3478b1b37c99.png) ---

Unfortunately there is currently no API around creating index patterns. Please feel free to open a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) for that feature! Cheers, Tim ---
