Hello,
I've noticed we have kibana indexes:
.kibana-event-log-7.10.2-\*
.kibana\_\*
.kibana\_task\_manager\_\*
And then since we upgraded to 7.13.1 we also have:
.kibana-event-log-7.13.1-\*
.kibana\_7.13.1\_\*
.kibana\_task\_manager\_7.13.1\_\*
I was wondering if I can delete old .kibana indexes showed at the top?
These are mostly empty, but I can see that for example .kibana-event-log-7.10.2-\* are still being created. How can I stop them?
Kind regards,
Dane

Hi
Could you share an example of the logs that are created in
> .kibana-event-log-7.10.2-\*
Are there logs in
> .kibana-event-log-7.13.1-\*
Are there multiple Kibana instances?
Thx!

Hi Matt,
Yes, there are two Kibana instances.
.kibana-event-log-7.10.2-\* indexes are empty.
And here is a document from .kibana-event-log-7.13.1-\* index:
```auto
{
"_index" : ".kibana-event-log-7.13.1-000001",
"_type" : "_doc",
"_id" : "Y5a49HkBZN82dk1ypBOP",
"_score" : 1.0,
"_source" : {
"@timestamp" : "2021-06-10T07:00:10.578Z",
"event" : {
"provider" : "alerting",
"action" : "execute",
"start" : "2021-06-10T07:00:10.578Z",
"outcome" : "success",
"end" : "2021-06-10T07:00:11.102Z",
"duration" : 524000000
},
"kibana" : {
"saved_objects" : [
{
"rel" : "primary",
"type" : "alert",
"id" : "143a10bc-0820-4b65-bfde-ef7499106c5a"
}
],
"alerting" : {
"status" : "ok"
},
"server_uuid" : "cdbcbb2c-5105-493d-9767-9a8373fd043d"
},
"message" : """alert executed: xpack.uptime.alerts.durationAnomaly:143a10bc-0820-4b65-bfde-ef7499106c5a: 'Anomaly detection alert "fw-mh-p-fot-01 "'""",
"ecs" : {
"version" : "1.8.0"
}
}
},
```
Thanks for the help.
Kind regards,
