We are trying to setup indices in a hierarchical order. E.g. Organization |\_ business unit |\_ department So, the index will look like org1-bu3-dept3-2013-09-20 Now, in kibana, we want to search for all indexes belonging to org1. Can we do this?

When setting up a dashboard you can configure the indexes to be used as a pattern, so this should be possible. We use a pattern including date, works fine so far. Andrej Am Freitag, 20.

Or, as an alternative approach, put an alias on all indices starting with org1 and use this one for kibana. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
