Hi,  
I just upgraded my four node ES cluster to 1.4.2. After restart I cant  
retrieve data using Kibana3 unless I manually creates an alias for each  
index? I still have one ES1.3.x left in the cluster where kibana works fine.

If I run "\_aliases?pretty " on an ES 1.4. node it returns "{}" only and  
kibana cant find any data.  
If I run the same from a ES1.3.x node I get the following (same cluster):  
{  
"logstash-2015.03.17": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.18": {  
"aliases": {  
}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.16": {  
"aliases": {}

etc and Kibana works fine

Any ideas?

Hi Mark,  
I don't get any errors in the logs.  
Froma ES 1.4 node Kibana returns:  
"_No results_ There were no results because no indices were found that  
match your selected time span"

So for some reason Kibana can't find the index if I don't set an index  
alias.

"\_aliases?pretty" output from ES1.4 where I manually set alias1,2,3 and  
that all I see  
{  
"logstash-2015.03.20": {  
"aliases": {  
"alias3": {}  
}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.19": {  
"aliases": {  
"alias1": {}  
}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.18": {  
"aliases": {  
"alias2": {}  
}  
}  
}

"\_aliases?pretty" output from ES1.3 node (same cluster) and I see all  
indices  
{  
"logstash-2015.03.17": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.18": {  
"aliases": {  
"alias2": {}  
}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.16": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.19": {  
"aliases": {  
"alias1": {}  
}  
},  
"kibana-int": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
"grafana-dash": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.15": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.20": {  
"aliases": {  
"alias3": {}  
}  
},  
"logstash-2015.03.14": {  
"aliases": {}  
},  
".marvel-kibana": {  
"aliases": {}  
}  
}

How can I trouble shoot this further?

What is the index pattern you are using in Kibana? It shouldn't need an  
alias unless you explicitly define it as the pattern.
