Old kibana saved objects still showing after changing “kibana.index” config setting

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Steps to recreate:

  • default install and start of kibana (5.2.0)
  • save a saved search, visualization or dashboard
  • shutdown, change kibana.index in config/kibana.yml:
    • from ".kibana" (default)
    • to: ".kibananew"
  • restart kibana and browse to management > saved objects

Expected: No saved searches, visualisations or dashboards to be present, because it should be looking for them in ".kibananew" which is empty?

Actual: They're still there.

Any help much appreciated! :slight_smile:

I just tried this on my local 6.2.0 Kibana and it worked properly.
Was the .kibananew index created properly on your side? or was Kibana still stuck on .kibana and this is why you still saw the objects?

So on second attempt this worked for me - i.e. I got the expected outcome above.

Either browser caching was an issue or I messed up!

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:
