edit[preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Manage data views, formerly known as Kibana index patterns.
Do not write documents directly to the .kibana
index. When you write directly
to the .kibana
index, the data becomes corrupted and permanently breaks future Kibana versions.

The following data views APIs are available:
-

- Get data view API to retrieve a single data view
- Create data view API to create data view
- Update data view API to partially updated data view
- Delete data view API to delete a data view
-

- Set default data view API to set a default data view
-
