Hey Fatemeh, The index pattern page will create a document but it shouldn't be more then a few kilobytes at most.

Can you check if the hardriveis generally full?

That can not be, every time I start the ELK the memory space is completely full  
I can not figure out why :(((((

I found the mistake 🙂  
I searched with SpaceSniffer my memory place and noticed that very stuff can not be read, they were a lot of jruby files in c: / windows / temp then I deleted all of them, now I have a lot of memory space on the C 🙂

It's hard to say. Logstash uses jruby so it's possible that was taking up some space in /tmp. Any ideas if the files were related to logstash?
