Hi,  
I tried to check index-patterns using kibana rest api, but it is not working.

`curl -XGET http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/index-pattern/$indx`

I am using kibana 7.3.2

Thanks

Hello Maria,

It is hard to help with so few details. What problem do you have? Are you unable to connect? Are you unable to authenticate?Does the search return no results?

Are you sure that you have used the correct ID? Sometimes, the ID and the pattern are not the same, e.g. the Apm-Server pattern is `apm-*` but the ID is `apm_static_index_pattern_id`. Pattern created in Kibana normally have an ID like `a63ccd60-703d-11ea-8b3a-637da4812491`.

Best regards  
Wolfram

Thank you so much for your reply. I was actually using the pattern instead of the pattern id. It resolved now. I got the index pattern ids using `http://localhost:9200/.kibana/_search`
