Please [read this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) about how to format.  
I updated your posts but next time please format your code.

`.kibana-observability-ai-assistant-ilm-policy-conversations` ILM policy seems to be the policy which removed:

```auto
[2023-11-07T02:49:38,057][INFO][o.e.c.m.MetadataDeleteIndexService] [ServerName1] [.kibana-observability-ai-assistant-conversations-000001/5XHP_QxAS-64BYoV2LzJ4Q] deleting index
[2023-11-07T02:49:38,750][INFO][o.e.c.m.MetadataDeleteIndexService] [ServerName1] [.kibana-observability-ai-assistant-kb-000001/F6B2OO7mQOuWbMMQCUi6nQ] deleting index

```

For those 3 ones, I don't know:

```auto
[2023-11-07T02:49:39,566][INFO][o.e.c.m.MetadataDeleteIndexService] [ServerName1] [testingindex1/6m1nPxl-Sua1XeK3LZDNnw] deleting index
[2023-11-07T02:49:41,326][INFO][o.e.c.m.MetadataDeleteIndexService] [ServerName1] [testingindex2/LgaVHLSjTMSwIGFxVDADng] deleting index
[2023-11-07T02:49:42,202][INFO][o.e.c.m.MetadataDeleteIndexService] [ServerName1] [testingindex3/AiCid0NGSbS6DGDGof8NfA] deleting index

```

May be it's "a bug" and you should anyway upgrade to 8.10.4 or 8.11.0.  
Or may be someone connected to your cluster did remove those `testingindex*` indices?
