# Index Patterns Management

> This interface simplifies the process of managing which indices are analyzed and visualized in the system.

## Index Patterns Management

* **Pattern**: This column lists the pattern used to match against multiple index names.
* **Used by Integration**: Indicates the integration from which the logs are generated.
* **Action**: Allows the user to perform actions such as editing or deleting the index patterns (only when it's not been used for the integration).

Examples of patterns and their uses:

* `log-*` - Matches all indices that start with `log-`.
* `alert-*` - Matches all indices that start with `alert-`.
* `log-wineventlog-*` - Used for indices related to Windows event logs.
* `log-o365-*` - Used for Office 365 logs.
* `log-firewall-*` - Matches indices for various firewall logs.

<Note>
  The user can also create new index patterns to match their indexing needs by using the "Create index pattern" button.
