{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### View data sources

* To see which index a data view is pulling the data from, check the respective data views in Stack Management -> Data Views.
* If you need to create your own data views, follow this guide:[ Creating Data Views in Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/data-views.html).
* For example, if you click on “Edit Visualisation” on a chart, you will see that the table chart is getting data from the DV-PT-PJT data view.&#x20;
* You can then view the DV-PT-PJT data, check the indices from where the data is getting pulled, and add a timestamp filter according to your requirements.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.digit.org/health/deploy/installation/setup-kibana-dashboard/create-or-edit-existing-dashboards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
