Unable to create index pattern from Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I am experiencing a problem similar in nature to the one here:

I have written a few (five) documents to an index, but when I attempt to make an index pattern through Kibana, the wheel just spins.

As per @jbudz's request, here are my kibana settings.

{".kibana":{"settings":{"index":{"number_of_shards":"1","auto_expand_replicas":"0-1","blocks":{"read_only_allow_delete":"true"},"provided_name":".kibana","creation_date":"1541011008451","number_of_replicas":"0","uuid":"45i6FyJUQTad-fes0s72vg","version":{"created":"6040299"}}}}}

I think you are hitting high threshold and hence its becoming read only indices. Can you free up some space to see if this gets resolved ?

All indexes get locked when the disk threshold is reached

To unlock all indexes manually:

curl -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://[YOUR_ELASTICSEARCH_ENDPOINT]:9200/_all/_settings -d '{"index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete": null}'

Also try deleting .kibana index to get it back up and going.

Hope it helps

I think that was the problem. high disk watermark [90%] exceeded on [fcqHgNaCRUWBvF5fvgxl_A][fcqHgNa][/usr/local/var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0] free: 13.7gb[5.8%], shards will be relocated away from this node

Am glad that the root cause is know.. Cheers
