abc-log-2019.11.12

abc-log-2019.11.13  
abc-log-2019.11.10  
abc-log-2019.11.09

How could I do?

Hi Karrie,

This is a classic use case, so that shouldn't be too hard.

In Kibana, you can go to Management and create an Index Pattern with the pattern you specified **abc-log** \*, specifying a timefield (if you have one).  
Then you would go ahead to the Visualize application and create a **Table visualization** where you can construct meaningful aggregations to suit your needs.

Hope this helps.

hi Liza,

Thanks for your reply. As there are different kinds of logs, not just abc-log\* , it will be complicated for me to create many index patterns.

Indices StoreSize

abc-log-2019.11.12 1234536  
abc-log-2019.11.11 123  
abc-log-2019.11.13  
abc-log-2019.11.10  
abc-log-2019.11.09  
happy-log-2019.11.12  
happy-log-2019.11.11  
happy-log-2019.11.13  
happy-log-2019.11.10  
happy-log-2019.11.09  
def-log-2019.11.12  
def-log-2019.11.11  
def-log-2019.11.13  
def-log-2019.11.10  
def-log-2019.11.09

I would like to change this to

Indices StoreSize

abc-log\* 1234536  
happy-log\* 45345  
def-log\* 45674
