I accidentally deleted the index in es and recreated it again. However, the visualize saved in kibana shows an exception. I deleted the corresponding index in kibana and rebuilt it, but visualize still reports an error.

How can I fix the corresponding visualize without rebuilding?

Hi @sun_changlong,

I think you can go to `Management -> Saved Objects`, select your visualization/dasboard/whatever and edit index id in `kibanaSavedObjectMeta.searchSourceJSON` field.

Best,  
Oleg

Thanks, I will try. I solved this problem using the Custom index pattern ID in the Create index pattern.
