Hi there,

so i use the elastic hosting trial, and connect with the PHP client. I can create an index, write to it and read it.

But Kibana will not show any new index, also the console will not display it ☹

Acess with url like this:

[https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/my\_index/\_search?pretty=true&q=](https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/my_index/_search?pretty=true&q=)_:_

doesn´t work,

this does: [https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/\_search?pretty=true&q=](https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/_search?pretty=true&q=)_:_

..but not showing the new indexes ☹

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,  
What am guessing is if the console won't display the new indices via the \_cat/indices calls, it's usually because Elasticsearch has security enabled and that user can't access that index. Is that the case here?

The other common issue that we see is the user not refreshing their index patterns, but that'd just lead to fields not being there or errors being thrown when the user tried to query the data elsewhere in Kibana.

More Kibana and ES logs would help in this case.

Cheers  
Rashmi

You could try;  
[https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/\_cat\_indices?v](https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/_cat_indices?v)

That should show what indices you have and the document counts.

HI Rashmi,

I use the default user (admin?), and with these credentials it works with the PHP client.

mrblue,

What version are you using? I'm guessing if you started a new trial you probably chose the most recent 6.2.4 release?

Did you try the \_cat/indices call from the Kibana console? Can you paste the results here?

In Kibana, are you trying to create the index pattern for your index? Can you tell us what happens there? New indices don't show up automatically in Discover tab in Kibana. You have to create an index pattern that matches them.

Hmm this: [https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/\_cat\_indices?v](https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/_cat_indices?v) in the url gives me an ilegal argument exeption (v)

Here is the ouput from the elastic console:

Doing some more research, i´m pretty sure there configuration is wrong or there are some undocumented steps.

[https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/\_cat\_indices?v](https://foo.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/_cat_indices?v) doe not work.  
Also, i found out that my PHP client wasn´t talking to the AWS but to localhost, my bad.
