Hello there,

I have been using ELK 7.9.2 and now I am trying to set up a cluster with ELK 7.9.3.

when I run elasticsearch it gives me following errors?

Is it because of the data that is already loaded into my cluster?

if I remove the old data and restart cluster on 7.9.3 the error will go away but I am looking for a way to backup and restore my data to the new cluster.

please advise.

Thanks,
Akhil

This is the interesting part of the response

It seems your cluster has not properly created/recovered that index. Can you verify that? What is the state of that index?
