I have created an index in ECE using filebeat as well as logstash. I am able to see the index in kibana in elasticseacrh index management. However, not able to create index pattern as the the indices are not available when I click the button to create it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/e/8ecf089961b2b2663486aea822f4e04bb005ad75.png) ---

Indices only show up in the "Define index pattern" wizard if they have at least 1 document. Does your filebeat-\* indices contain any documents? If so, please share a HAR capture from your browser when trying to define an index pattern. ---
