Final answer:
You can indeed change the index pattern of a visualization in Kibana by opening the visualization, clicking 'Panel Options', and selecting a new index pattern. Afterward, update the fields and filters to match the new pattern and save your changes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, you can change the index pattern of a visualization in Kibana. However, it is important to note that changing the index pattern can affect the fields that are available in the visualization, as they are dependent on the index pattern's schema. Visualizations in Kibana are linked to a particular index pattern, but if you need to change the pattern, you can do so by following these steps:
- Open the visualization you want to modify in Kibana's Visualize app.
- Click on the 'Panel Options' in the sidebar.
- Under the 'Index Pattern' section, you can select a new index pattern from the dropdown list that corresponds to the data you wish to visualize.
- After selecting the new index pattern, you may need to update the fields or filters used in the visualization to match the new index pattern.
- Save the visualization to store the changes.
Remember, after changing the index pattern, it is crucial to ensure that the fields used in the visualization still exist and are of the correct type in the new index pattern. If the field names and types do not match, you might need to adjust the visualization or choose an appropriate index pattern.
