Hi Team, even I'm also started facing the same problem from past 5 days. Everyday I will get that error and I need to restart kibana, but it's a very serious problem because I'm loosing all the imported data sources, visualizations and dashboards. Can anyone please help on this ? ---

Thanks for the quick response kwonghung. Yesterday morning I have tried the same way, instead of using the default space I have created my own space and created dashboard in that space. But, today morning again it has started showing the same error. ---

@Gopi_mdvk have you got any solution?? because of it we are getting data lost! and also it creates random indexes. ![screenshot-64.225.47.149_5601-2020.07.27-10_43_28](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/7/a735c3ea1e918abda254f59a6181a21d468465e5.png) ---

Same here, what is strange: 1 - I only have this since 2 days 2 - I have downgrade to version 7.7.0 and this morning ... the problem is back 3 - I never got such issue previously, then this Friday this problem occur for the first time 4 - A clean reinstall does not help 5 - I have shutdown kibana & logstash, after a few hours Elastic is down again! So, it is definitively an Elastic issue ! It looks like I've been hacked, I don't understand how it is possible! Mainly because for weeks I got no issue, here I can reproduce it several times per day! What is strange too, is that a lot of peoples have the same issue at the same time (approx) ! Also, see my ES log, does someone is trying to DELETE my index, who/how ? ``` [5va5w](https://swarmpit.socloze.com/#/tasks/5va5wgbuj58h806g5t7d5q4kp?log=1) {"type": "server", "timestamp":

@Krishna_Sai_Nag_G Hi Krishna, ooh ok, actually every day morning If I hit the url ip:5601 it will redirect to No Space error page and then I need to restart the server then only I will get the home page after hitting url ip:5601, but today I haven't restarted the server and I can able to get the home page.

@Krishna_Sai_Nag_G , yes securing the application work. 1 - now Kibana is only accessible internaly 2 - Elastic has been secure with basic auth No issues until now. ---
