I'm trying to create an index from Kibana since I already have logs in elasitcsearch. If I go to Stack Management \> Index ptterns, give it an index pattern name, and then run Create index pattern, I am taken to a page stating that the index has been created. You can check the type of Fields here. However, when I open Discover, the page to create the index pattern is displayed and I cannot check the index. What should I do? ---

elasticsearch is not outputting any significant logs. The kibana log looks like this ```auto # tail /var/log/kibana/kibana.log ... snip ... {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-04-07T13:05:55+09:00","tags":["warning","plugins","monitoring","monitoring","kibana-monitoring"],"pid":25076,"message":"Error: Cluster client cannot be used after it has been closed.\n at LegacyClusterClient.assertIsNotClosed (/usr/share/kibana/src/core/server/elasticsearch/legacy/cluster_client.js:195:13)\n at LegacyClusterClient.callAsInternalUser (/usr/share/kibana/src/core/server/elasticsearch/legacy/cluster_client.js:115:12)\n at sendBulkPayload (/usr/share/kibana/x-pack/plugins/monitoring/server/kibana_monitoring/lib/send_bulk_payload.js:22:18)\n at BulkUploader._onPayload (/usr/share/kibana/x-pack/plugins/monitoring/server/kibana_monitoring/bulk_uploader.js:209:43)\n at BulkUploader._fetchAndUpload (/usr/share/kibana/x-pack/plugins/monitoring/server/kibana_monitoring/bulk_uploader.js:195:20)\n at runMicrotasks ()\n at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)"} {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2021-04-07T13:05:55+09:00","tags":["warning","plugins","monitoring","monitoring","kibana-monitoring"],"pid":25076,"message":"Unable to bulk upload the stats payload to the local cluster"} ``` ---

It seems that the index is indeed being created. ```auto GET /_cat/indices?v ``` ```auto health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size yellow open api-2021.04.07 7Ng-eUJ-Ty-1CsM068iJqg 1 1 738980 0 120.9mb 120.9mb ``` Why does Kibana refuse to create index patterns? ---

It might be affected by the change in the destination of elasticsearch's index. I restarted kibana and now I can create the index pattern. ```auto systemctl restart kibana.service ``` ---

However, after restarting, there were many index patterns that kept being created, mistakenly thinking that they had not been created before. ---

Thx, do you use a proxy in your setup? ---

Yes, it is. For security reasons, the internal network is connected to the external network via a proxy server. ---
