Hi all  
I have elasticsearch 6.8.3 and trying to get all indices from dev tools like this:

**GET \_cat/indices?v**

but I only get blank page:

**health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size**

below are empty

then I tryed to get indices by curl get:

**curl -X GET -u user:passw -k "[https://hostname.address:9200/\_cat/indices?v](https://hostname.address:9200/_cat/indices?v)"**

but result is exactly the same

P.S. I could not find any errors in the logs and other things are working, every command works properly only **\_cat/indices** command returns blank page  
P.P.S. there are lots of indices on the disk
