KIBANA INDEX MISTAKE

[Alejandro Martinez]

I need help, please. I tried the following comand to erase the index, but when I start kibana, it creates it again and the same mistake comes up (the mistake is at the bottom).

// curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/.kibana_task_manager_2' --header "content-type: application/JSON" -u elastic -p

THE MISTAKE I GET:

< Feb 28 14:00:52 srvwaz.com kibana[1058]: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-02-28T14:00:52Z","tags":["info","savedobjects-service"],"pid":1058,"message":"Starting saved objects migrations"}

Hi Alejandro!

Let's run some commands to get more information: 

Could you tell me which version of the ELK you're using? Have you performed any updates before the error?

Could you check on Elasticsearch how many .kibana_N indices do you have?

run http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?pretty | grep -i "kibana" on your Elasticsearch server

And also: 

curl -I http://localhost:5601/status

I await your response

Regards,

Alberto

Hello, sorry for not aswering before!!

I haven't updated. My kibana version is 7.6.0 and Elasticsearch is in version 7.6.0

For the second command I get "Connection Refused".

Hi Alejandro,

Sorry for the delay in response. Could you please try to remove all the indexes and restart kibana?

curl -XDELETE elastic_ip:9200/.kibana_*
curl -XDELETE elastic_ip:9200/.kibana_task_manager_*
systemctl restart kibana

It's important to know that removing .kibana index will make you lose all your kibana settings (indexes, graphs, dashboards), in case you don't mind losing these Kibana settings do these commands: (otherwise you will have to export saved object, remove the index and import those previous saved objects on the new index).

Best Regards,

[Alejandro Martinez]

I deleted all kibana indexes and the same mistake persists.
