Using wildcards to speficy multiple indexes in Kibana, is it still not supported?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

We have groups of multiple indexes which names differ in a few characters,
and we want to query all indexes belonging to the same group. I've found
some old threads where it's explained that Kibana doesn't support wildcard
in index names (except for date specifier) and there only way to specify
such multiple indexes is just to list all of them explicitly in Kibana
settings. But that's not flexible in our case.

I wonder if Kibana supports or plan to support wildcards in index names.

Thanks in advance

Vagif,
you should try out Kibana 4, with which you can define either wildcard
based name (e.g. logstash-*) or date based name (e.g. logstash-YYYY.MM.DD)
Note that it is typically much more efficient to use a date based approach,
since K4 can then only query the indices that match your query, instead of
all of them.
