Kibana still shows the hidden indices even with Include hidden indices set to off

Hello everyone

Even with Include hidden indices set to off, I can still see the . indices (belongs to xpack) in Kibana. How can I disable them so they don't show in Kibana?

version: 9.4.2

Hello and welcome,

Those are just system indices, not all system indices will be hidden.

These are not, they do not have the setting index.hidden: true

You would need to edit their seetings and add the line "index.hidden": true for them to be hidden in the index management interface.

To make this permanent for new indices, you would need to edit the respective .monitoring-* index template and add that option.

Thank you very much!
Though seems there is no index template for the .minitoring-* indexes...

[leandrojmp (Leandro Pereira)]

There is, but they are deprecated and may be hidden.

Did you select all of these?

Thank you very much!

For future googlers: turn on "system templates" and scroll to the bottom. You will see then this:
