Refreshing Indices

[zaeemmasood]

Hi All,

Is there a way I could refresh indices (field list) by not relying on doing it manually through Kibana?

Can a curl command be used instead? I have ELK 7.6.2 stack.

Thanks

It looks like this is what you want - Update index pattern API | Kibana Guide [7.13] | Elastic

POST api/saved_objects/index-pattern/my-pattern
{
  "refresh_fields": true
}

Thanks. Is there a privilege that I could assign to a non-superuser who could refresh field list of a specific index pattern manually through Kibana? Please see the yellow highlighted icon in the picture below:

I'm not aware of this specific privilege, but note that in 7.11 the field cache was removed and the refresh is no longer necessary:
