Does this have to be its own section? Or could it be:
NOTE: When you define an index pattern, the indices that match that pattern must exist in Elasticsearch and they must contain data. To check which indices are available, go to Dev Tools > Console and enter GET _cat/indices. Alternately, use available, go to Dev Tools > Console and enter GET _cat/indices. Alternately, use curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices". curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices".
