Hi,  
Im trying to currently merge two indices together, (Both have the same data, just different name and dates),  
one index is names group it, another is named cloudflare. Is it possible to merge both indexes together and create a graph with both indexes?

Thanks

Hi James

Are you familiar with the concept of index patterns?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index-patterns.html)

They allow you to search/query across multiple indices

Best,  
Matthias

Hi Mathias,

Thank you for the link!

Unfortunately, when I search, since the two indices are different names ( 1 is group it, 2 is cloudlflare) when I try to combine the two, I am not able to?

Hi

You can comma separate multiple different named indices in you index pattern
