Unable to create Time-based index pattern with wildcard

[sathieu]

[logs-*-]YYYY.MM.DD doesn't match logs-syslog-20150811.

This comes from

kibana/src/ui/public/index_patterns/_mapper.js

Line 104 in 1e555c5

return existingIndex === parsed.format(indexPattern.id);

:

          var matches = all.filter(function (existingIndex) {
            var parsed = moment(existingIndex, indexPattern.id);
            return existingIndex === parsed.format(indexPattern.id);
          });

NB: Here we have:

existingIndex == 'logs-syslog-20150811'
indexPattern.id == '[logs-*-]YYYY.MM.DD'
parsed.format(indexPattern.id) == 'logs-*-2015.08.11'

Workaround is to change to:

          var matches = all.filter(function (existingIndex) {
            var parsed = moment(existingIndex, indexPattern.id);
            var formatted = parsed.format(indexPattern.id);
            return (existingIndex === formatted) || (formatted.indexOf('*') != -1);
          });

NB: Consider the above patch public-domain. you can merge it (I won't sign the CLA).

We're deprecating time based indices, see here: #4342
