Lukas, Can you post the API we would hit to manually refresh an index pattern via curl? We are having an issue with this in production and need to create a job to do this in a loop.

Hey @preddy75, this isn't currently possible using a documented and supported API, I'd recommend opening a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) for this ability. ---
