Hi Team,

Could you please help me, How to monitor different indexes lively in a single Visualization/Dashboard.

In a single visualization, you have 3 solutions. 1) the indexes need to have a similar prefix structure. Then create a Kibana index pattern that spans across all of them. 2). Use timelion. 3) Use canvas

If you have a single dashboard, you can then have multiple visualizations, and hence multiple indexes.
