Could I delete .monitoring-kibana\_2020.MM.dd system index? I experienced a disk failure which damaged the lvm and after fixing this some system shards are corrupted blocking indexing.

Thank you in advance!

I managed to delete it and there was no issue afterwards. It is deleted by the system after 7 days.
