Dashboard could not locate the index-pattern
editDashboard could not locate the index-pattern
editTypically Winlogbeat sets up the index pattern automatically when it loads the index template. However, if for some reason Winlogbeat loads the index template, but the index pattern does not get created correctly, you’ll see a "could not locate that index-pattern" error. To resolve this problem:
-
Try running the
setup
command again. For example:./winlogbeat setup
. -
If that doesn’t work, go to the Management app in Kibana, and under Index Patterns, look for the pattern.
-
If the pattern doesn’t exist, create it manually.
-
Set the Time filter field name to
@timestamp
. -
Set the Custom index pattern ID advanced option. For example, if your
custom index name is
winlogbeat-customname
, set the custom index pattern ID towinlogbeat-customname-*
.
-
Set the Time filter field name to
-
For more information, see Creating an index pattern in the Kibana docs.
