Hi, After updating Elasticsearch and Kibana to 8.9.0, our Alerts stopped working: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/6/560e8c8c60103e8168d483dcd46936460a71d276.png) I do not understand what is the problem here. Here is the logs of Kibana: ```json {"service":{"node":{"roles":["background_tasks","ui"]}},"ecs":{"version":"8.6.1"},"@timestamp":"2023-09-29T18:38:47.726+00:00","message":"There has been a catastrophic error trying to install index level resources for the following registration context: observability.logs.
