Hi, I am going through the elastic search tutorial for elastic search 6. I ingested the logstash-tutorial.log data into elasticsearch. If I query elastic search using GET /\_cat/indices, I get the following responses: yellow open customer rJHq6qZKSCadxujFP5LcCA 5 1 1 0 4.8kb 4.8kb yellow open logstash-2017.12.11 4RKCvhMQTTmToyUIjnNA8A 5 1 100 0 233.3kb 233.3kb yellow open .kibana cfUAseOyTuqXPgmQpOzO\_Q 1 1 1 0 3.6kb 3.6kb yellow open bank xfKAxPLcSXyVWW-hEczLZQ 5 1 1000 0 488.3kb 488.3kb However on the management tab I getting the following error Warning No default index pattern. You must select or create one to continue. I am unable to proceed. How can I solve this error ---

Ok The instructions says " Click the **Management** tab, then the **Index Patterns** tab. Click **Add New** to define a new index pattern" I am using kibana 6.00. I followed this instruction, but there is no "add New" link, There is a create new, but when I enter logstash-\*, and @timestamp in the timefilter field and then click create index, nothing happens. ---

Hi, I am also facing the same issues. I am not able to see Add New option in my Dashboard. Is it required to have a license to get these features enabled or can we have a trial? ---

I updated my elk Stack to 6.0.1 with `sudo apt-get update` and fixed a new problem I encountered (discussed that one here: [[Elasticsearch plugin is red after update](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-plugin-is-red-after-update/111313)]). Now I was able to create an index pattern in the normal fashion. ---

If the button is not allowing you to click it then it's usually because it is not finding a matching pattern in Elasticsearch. @LeotisBuchanan you should see something like this; ![22](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/2/c2f9fa4a283e27ab640995a46142ae75fe5a1362.png) ![45](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/a/7abe7d7ede72043c5353bc7080ce7f02ab1c5db4.png) ![51](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/b/0b9ee805ee4b2ad6c3fc0f0f2eed7050c6282216.png) ---
