Question:
I was working on Lesson 1.3 “Search Data” and the blogs index appeared as a sample dataset in Kibana. I did not create it myself; it was provided by the exercise environment. I accidentally deleted it and now cannot continue with the exercises. I am asking where I can download or obtain that dataset to re-import it.
Hello,
Let us first verify if you have deleted the blogs index, or the blogs data view. These are two different things.
Check the blogs data view:
- In Kibana go to main menu > stack management > data view
- You should see the data view here if it exists
Check the blogs index:
- in Kibana go to main menu > Dev Tools (its under the management section)
- execute the following code in Dev Tools
- you will either get an index not found exception or get the count of documents in the index
GET /blogs/_count
Let us know the result of these verifications and we will help you from there.

The index and the data view not exists anymore
Hello again,
I verified the lab steps and it seems the blogs index includes data that you add in previous lab steps to Kibana1 and Kibana2.
- If you are missing blogs index from kibana1 please repeat steps 4-12 from lab 1.2.
- If you are missing blogs index from Kibana2 please repeat steps 13-21 from lab 1.2.
I hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
