Hi,

The indices you're seeing are system indices used by Elasticsearch for various purposes:

.ds-ilm-history-\* indices are used by Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) to store the history of actions taken by ILM.  
.logs-deprecation.\* indices are used to store deprecation logs.

It's not recommended to disable the creation of these indices.

But if you want to disable deprecation logging click on the following link
