ELK version 7.3.1  
some time ago I`m setup ELK version 7.3 (on one server) and metricbeats (metricbeat version 7.3.1 ) on a few othres servers, all work fine, and kibana\Infrastructure shows CPU\Memory and other metrics

then i`m trynig to configure Index Lifecycle Policies... and index "metricbeat-7.3.1" was deleted.  
metricbeats on servers create a new index in elasticsearch, BUT in kibana\Infrastructure dashboard is absent

Hi!

Could you give more information about your setup? Did you run `metricbeat setup` again to setup indexes, templates, mappings etc after the deletion?

C.

fogot about this step  
run now on one server  
#metricbeat setup  
Index setup finished.  
Loading dashboards (Kibana must be running and reachable)  
Loaded dashboards

but no effect

my metricbeat.yml  
metricbeat.config.modules:  
# Glob pattern for configuration loading  
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/\*.yml

```
  # Set to true to enable config reloading
  reload.enabled: false

setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1
  index.codec: best_compression

setup.kibana:
host: "10.130.10.40:5601"

output.elasticsearch:
  # Array of hosts to connect to.
  hosts: ["10.130.10.40:9200"]

processors:
  - add_host_metadata: ~
  - add_cloud_metadata: ~
```

It the index you create the same `metricbeat-7.3.1`? Also the index patterns are the same? A lot of visualisations in Kibana are coupled with index-patterns so if you now have different ones, it might be a problem for Infra Ui too.

correct solution:

1. stop all metricbeats clients
2. delete index in elasticsearch
3. run on one of metricbeats client: metricbeat setup -e -E output.elasticsearch.hosts=['10.130.10.40:9200'] -E setup.kibana.host=10.130.10.40:5601
4. edit Index Lifecycle Policies
5. run all metricbeats clients
