I am not able to login to kibana because of the error index [.security-profile-8] is unavailable","error":{"message":"unavailable\_shards\_exception.

Primary and replica both shards are not available because the node having them crashed. I can't recover the shards also as I don't have back up.

How can I recreate the ".security-profile-8" index ? Please help me.

elastic version: "8.6.2"
