The index pattern mentioned does exist:

@greenpau how did you create this index pattern?

It can be that the index pattern has winlogbeat-* as name, but not as id. If you created the index patterns with winlogbeat setup they should have been created correctly.

To check if this is the problem, you can delete the index pattern and recreate it with winlogbeat setup, or manually with winlogbeat-* as name and as id. The id can be set in the advanced options when creating an index pattern.

@jsoriano, 👍 Thank you for looking into this. I think my issues stem from the fact that I am not using winlogbeat.exe to do the setup. Closing this.
