Elastic Search Index Name Issue

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

We have an index in the format "app-service-log". There are no aliases defined on the index. When I try to create another index with the name "app-service-log1" it is throwing an invalid alias name exception

Invalid alias name [app-service-log], an index exists with the same name as the alias

Any idea what may be the issue here or i need to check some where else.

I think this indicates that Elasticsearch is trying to create the index app-service-log1 with an alias called app-service-log, which isn't working because there's already an index called app-service-log. The aliases used when creating an index come from (a) the index creation request itself and (b) the index templates. Could you check these two places to see where this alias is coming from?
