Clear cache not working properly

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello.
I did below command my ELK box for clear cache:

# curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/_all'
{"acknowledged":true}

but when I restart my server then cache back:

# curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'
health status index                 uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open   .kibana               tPXxYJTKSnqcIcII24wi5g   1   1          1            0      3.1kb          3.1kb

I have not any active server that send logs to my ELK but I don't know why cache back!!!

Any idea to solve it?

Thank you.

Those are not caches, they are indices.

The Kibana one will be created as soon as you start Kibana. The others would be because you are sending data to Elasticsearch someone.

As I said, All server are OFF and I have not data stream!!!
How can I clear "Kibana" indices?

There is something still sending to Elasticsearch, it will not create these indices by itself.

OK, Let me to show you that I have not any data stream:

# tcpdump -n -s 0 -i enp4s0 -X tcp port 9200 and host 172.30.10.17
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on enp4s0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
# curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v'
health status index                 uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
