I'm running into a strange issue where one of my indices is showing the incorrect number of documents.

On the discovery section of Kibana, my index named `winlogbeat-6.5.1-2018.12.02` shows 200,000+ hits, however, when I check the same index from monitor or management it only shows 800 documents total.

I know that hits and document count will be slightly different due to the way the API works, however, this range seems a bit excessive. I'd also like to note that I recently upgraded from 6.4.0 to 6.5.1, however it happened after December 2, 2018, so I'm not sure why only this index is showing a discrepancy.

Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this issue?

Thank you.
