Hello,

I use logstash for creating indexes in elasticsearch  
In elasticsearch logs I have :

`"creating index, cause [auto(bulk api)], templates [prod], shards [1]/[1], mappings [_default_, %{ssid}-prodv3]"`

However the index is not created (not present in GET /\_cat/indices?v)

Also I created an index with sense (with a post), then I found my index GET /\_cat/indices?v, and in kibana,  
but after I deleted the index pattern in kibana , my index disapeared..

Where should I look into?

What do you mean by this? Did you run

```auto
DELETE your_index_name

```

in kibana?

No no, I just pushed the trash button when I selected my test index in the interface for "index patterns":

I removed logstash, elasticsearch and installed them all over (5.0.0-alpha5) and after I create an index, after I do a get on the index, the index disapears. ☹
