Examplesedit
The following example updates an existing index pattern object identified as
my-pattern
with a different index pattern title.
PUT api/saved_objects/index-pattern/my-pattern { "attributes": { "title": "some-other-pattern-*" } }
A successful call returns a response code of 200
and a response body
containing a JSON structure similar to the following example:
{ "id": "my-pattern", "type": "index-pattern", "version": 2, "attributes": { "title": "some-other-pattern-*" } }
Known issuesedit
- Attributes are not validated at update time. This means you can pass arbitrary and ill-formed data into this API that can break Kibana. Make sure any data you send to this API is properly formed.
