Elastic Stack Kibana

I was deleting indexes and deleted .kibana_2 and after that my kibana stopped running. I have another index .kibana_1. Should I delete that too an drestart kibana? But how do i delete it? I cant access the dev tools page on kibana GUI to perform GET _cat/indexes?v

start, please set xpack.reporting.encryptionKey in kibana.yml

Try deleting the 3 indexes: .kibana , .kibana_1 and .kibana_2 and restarting the kibana service and check the logs. This should work for you. Let us know

So which indexes should not be created?
And before i had multiple indexes created under multiple log files. But they arent creating now under same config files. Does it the stopping of multiple indexes being created have anything to do with the .kibana_1,2 indexes being deleted?

@rashmi, Also, I have filebeat running on a server and logstash running on my VM and I have given index format as

index => "DataEdgeAppServer"

but each time filebeat ships logs to logstash, they are collecting under new index created called - logstash. Is it due to ILM in action? Why even after manually typing index name, logstash configuration is using logstash as index name ?

thanks!

Can you please provide the configuration for your Filebeat and Logstash instances.

also am cc'ing @andrewkroh for more inputs, if any.

Thanks

Fixed the issue. Just restarted services and that format for index is incorrect. Index have to be lower case.
