Course: Elastic engineer

I am on module 5 of the Elastic Engineer on demand course.  
The lab references an index called web\_traffic, however the index does not exist on the lab environment. I would just skip the module, however the remaining modules keep referencing the index, so it seems i can not progress. Please can you advise.

" Lab 5.1: Metrics and buckets aggregations

**Objective:**

In this lab, you will become familiar with writing metrics and bucket aggregations. You will use aggregations to answer some questions about the `web_traffic` index.

**Note:** The field `runtime_ms` for the index `web_traffic` is in microsecond (μs).""

=== This is the error when i copy and paste code from the question:

{  
"error" : {  
"root\_cause" : [  
{  
"type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception",  
"reason" : "no such index [web\_traffic]",  
"resource.type" : "index\_or\_alias",  
"resource.id" : "web\_traffic",  
"index\_uuid" : "_na_",  
"index" : "web\_traffic"

Hello and welcome to our forum!

The index `web_traffic` must be created in the **Lab 4.1: Changing data**

Review this lab to make sure, you correctly indexed this new dataset.
