Loading index patterns to use in Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
7

I meant;

Whether I sent the data to

  • my-index and select my-index
    OR
  • filebeat-my-index and select filebeat-*

as index pattern in Kibana GUI, there is no difference in logs. Logs in both Elasticsearch indexes have exactly the same fields/data. That's why I don't understand why I cannot do mush with Kibana as you said above.

If you don't add the index pattern for the data in Elasticsearch then you can't do much with Kibana.
