Hey, every few seconds Kibana spits out this message: {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2020-08-26T12:57:31Z","tags":["error","plugins","taskManager","taskManager"],"pid":6,"message":"Failed to mark Task endpoint:user-artifact-packager "endpoint:user-artifact-packager:1.0.0" as running: Cannot read property 'timeout' of undefined"}

Any idea what it means?

the objects without `task:` prefix within the `.kibana_task_manager` index need to be removed.

DELETE /.kibana\_task\_manager\_\* and restart kibana and check .

Hope this resolves the issue.  
Thanks
