**_I'm not sure if I should start a new thread on this subject:_**

I've managed to refresh the `topbeat-*` index pattern by deleting the pattern and importing via the `load.ps1` script.

Is there some way I can update the existing indices to match the updated index pattern without deleting the data?

_UPDATE: Started a new thread in ES forum [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/new-index-pattern-to-current-index-topbeat/41627)_
