What is the correct way to create an index pattern using the Dashboards API?

Where can I find the reference documentation for that?

Currently OpenSearch Dashboards does’t have this documentation, but you can refer to the [document of Kibana 7.10](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/saved-objects-api-create.html), note that dashboards’ API is a little bit different from kibana’s. You can try creating index pattern like this:

```auto
curl -X POST localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/index-pattern/test -H 'osd-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"attributes":{"title": "test*"}}'

```
