The patterns used to match log sources are configured in the Logs app. The default setting is logs-*,filebeat-*,kibana_sample_data_logs*. To change the default, refer to Configure data sources.
If the fields are grayed out and cannot be edited, you may not have sufficient privileges to change the source configuration.
If Spaces are enabled in your Kibana instance, any configuration changes you make here are specific to the current space. You can make different subsets of data available by creating multiple spaces with different data source configurations.
