Hi, I started freezing older daily indices that are used less frequently, but now those aren't loading at all. Shouldn't those be available for reading (e.g., Kibana)? Thanks! ---

> Unless enabled, frozen indices are completely ignored; it is as if they do not exist and as such, queries ran against them are likely to fail. > [Frozen Indices | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/sql-index-frozen.html) Maybe this is the problem? But thats only a possibility if you are on an older version. As far as I know you can search frozen indices on 7.X. ---

I think there is an advanced setting in Kibana that need to be enabled. ---

Never would've thought about that. Thank you! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/6/364a5a9b2cbffc0ca6a663884a123b883b584697.png) I also found this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/searching\_a\_frozen\_index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/searching_a_frozen_index.html) Is there a way for me to check if this threshold is hit? (e.g., log entry) Also, how can I change that limit? ---
