=== Load the index pattern
|

|
Index patterns tell {kib} which {es} indices you want to explore.
|
|
An APM index pattern is necessary for certain features in the APM app, like the query bar.
|
|
To set up the correct index pattern, on the *Add data* page, click *Load Kibana objects*.

TIP: To use a custom index pattern,
|
|
adjust Kibana's <<apm-settings-in-kibana,settings>> or use the <<api-create-apm-index-pattern,Kibana API>>.
