Hi, I accidently deleted an index pattern, and dashboards relying on it no longer load.  
Using ELK 5.6.16

I tried [Get index pattern ID?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/get-index-pattern-id/132598) but I get 0 results:

```
GET .kibana/_search
{
  "_source": ["index-pattern.title"],
  "query": {
    "term": {
      "type": "index-pattern"
    }
  }
}

```

Result:

```
{
  "took": 0,
  "timed_out": false,
  "_shards": {
    "total": 1,
    "successful": 1,
    "skipped": 0,
    "failed": 0
  },
  "hits": {
    "total": 0,
    "max_score": null,
    "hits": []
  }
}

```

How can I find the index pattern id?

Thanks

I deleted then recreated the pattern again using the id that the dashboard said was missing, dashboards working again.
