Hi folks.

I just deleted an old index in the Kibana Settings (an old logstash-product-\* one, we have several products), and now my Kibana only shows the logo and menu-bar, with nothing but a white box below.

I'm not sure how to get anything back. It wasn't even the default index.

Kibana 4.2.0.

Caching issue? What happens when you clear the cache?
