I deployed elasticsearch cluster with operator 1.3.0 and es version: 7.9.0. When I am trying to list the indices, not able to see any system indices. Attaching the screenshot ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/9/49b844ba85a06b59d841e2ef200b07d74a00f2fd.png) Able to see only created indices. Is that the default behaviour? ---

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂 ---

OKay @warkolm. When I go inside the pod , I try to list the indices using the below command: ```auto curl -u "elastic:pwd" -k -X GET "https://svc:9200/_cat/indices" ``` I m not able to see any system indces. ---

It is just the output when I try to list the indices using the curl command. I am not able to find any default(system) indices. Below is the output when I try to list the indices. I created one index. I can see only that index. ```auto yellow open index-oo1 IOCIj0zpT6S8-3F2FedhEg 1 1 0 0 208b 208b ``` But for below versions like 7.6.0, I can see system indices as well. This is the output for list indices. ```auto green open .security-7 umGH8KBPTnSdCbJfNso7Aw 1 1 36 0 124.7kb 85.6kb green open .kibana_task_manager_1 tWu2uxWCQGCtwj9ScHg18w 1 1 2 0 43.4kb 21.7kb green open .apm-agent-configuration --11Ff_AQr6WKXaOLmn6zQ 1 1 0 0 566b 283b green open .kibana_1 _pTFJLczRoC6uvOrgJANBg 1 1 2 0 20kb 11.2kb ``` ---

I just ran that call on 7.10.0 and can see the system indices without an issue. What is the output from `GET /`? ---
