I've been banging my head against a wall here. I can import data and see my indices populated using curl. See screenshots below. But there is nothing when I go to log in to kibana. I have no clue what to do here.

It's helpful if you don't post pics of text only things, like the curl output, they're super hard to read 🙂

What happens if you add the index pattern in anyway?

It looks like I solved the issue. I set my script to push data to localhost thinking that's where it should be while logged into the Kibana machine on SSH. But it turns out there was another IP address I needed to push the data to. Once I made the update and set my user as elastic it started working.
