How to get the list of indices created in Kibana?

I was able to retrieve the indices from Elasticsearch and register the corresponding index pattern in Kibana programmatically in Java. Now I would like to get the list of the index patterns already created in Kibana so that I could cross check it against the index list from Elasticsearch so as to not create them again in Kibana.

Is there an API to fetch the index pattern list from Kibana?

--

API for getting the list of indices from Elasticsearch: http://{hostname}:{port}/_aliases

API for creating an index pattern in Kibana: http://{hostname}:{port}/{kibana instance Id}/index-pattern/{index pattern title}

Solution

  • Use the next query: GET /.kibana/index-pattern/_search
