I need to re-create my .watcher & monitoring-6 index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi. I had a major system outage this morning and when I booted all nodes up again both my .watcher and .monitoring indices would not allocate to the data nodes, cluster was red.

I tried closing and re opening them but they would not come good.

I deleted them and now I can get into Kibana but I know I need to re-create them again.

Is there a procedure to get this done?

Thanks.

I deleted my .triggered_watches and then restarted the nodes.. Came good. I got back my .watches and .triggered_watchers also was recreated.

.monitoring-alerts-6 came back as well after a short while.

Thanks for the update! Glad you got everything resolved.
