Hi Everyone,

I am running a Elasticsearch cluster deployed in Docker containers. When I restarted the cluster the Elasticsearch license appeared to be deleted along with all of the Kibana dashboards. Anyone know why this occurred and how to prevent in the future?

Thanks

Are you using persistent volumes for your containers?
