Why am I getting multiple indices for the same Tenant on Searchguard? Is this an intended outcome?

I have a tenant called 'admintenant', but the system indices show ''kibana_admintenant_1" and "kibana_admintenant_2".

Also, the "kibana_admintenant_2" has an alias set to "kibana_admintenant".

I do not understand why it is creating two separate indices, and if it is safe to delete one of them.

Thank you.

Configurations:

Searchguard version: 6.6.1-18.1

Elastic Version: 6.6.1

OS version: CentOS Version 7

Elastic master nodes: 5 (statefulset)

Elastic data nodes: 4 (statefulset)

The indices are not created by Search Guard, but by Kibana. This feature ("saved objects migrations") was added in Kibaba 6.5:

With multi-tenancy the saved objects are stored in a separate index per tenant, tthus the saved objects migrations are applied to each tenant index.
