How to create index pattern in elastic seach programmatically – Docker

I have ELK stack deployed along my application in docker. On first run I need to setup index pattern, and select ordering field. I know that my index pattern will always be logstash-* and my field will be @timestamp.

How can I preconfigure this in docker so I do not have to do it each time?

    You can use the index template to define a template, and next time whenever you create an index matching the pattern name defined in your template, it will have a settings and mappings defined in the template.

    Use Kibana create saved objects API to write a script and run it in a container or something like that:

    kibana_endpoint=localhost
kibana_system_user_password="12345678"

curl -X POST 
    "${kibana_endpoint}:5600/api/saved_objects/index-pattern/logstash" 
    --header "kbn-xsrf: true" 
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" 
    --user "kibana_system:${kibana_system_user_password}" 
    --data 
    "
    {
        "attributes": {
            "title" : "logstash-*",
            "timeFieldName": "@timestamp"
        }
    }
    "
