I assume your index is called arcsight-\*?

I've had this issue before, not quite sure why. The solution I have always used is to replace it with the index unique ID instead. In Kibana go to Management \> Index Pattern and select the arcsight-\* index. Then looking in the URL, copy the part AFTER /indices/ and up to the question mark:

Go to your visualization and when it appears with the error, go down to the settings and you will see "arcsight-\*" mentioned. Replace it with the UUID you just copied. Save and go back into the visualization and it should be working.

HI Lewis,  
As stated by you i tried to find the UUID but i did't find any UUID i got only the following url:**[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/management/kibana/indices/arcsight-\*?\_g=()&\_a=(tab:indexedFields)](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/management/kibana/indices/arcsight-*?_g=()&_a=(tab:indexedFields))** but no UUID .Could you suggest me how to do that.

Thanks,  
Jagan

Interesting. If you open up the corresponding visualization, not the dashboard, what do you get?

If you have no data then there is nothing to visualize 🙂
