I am experiencing a problem similar in nature to the one here: > [@Kibana creating new index forever](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-creating-new-index-forever/152401): > > ~Hello, I have an issue creating new Index in Kibana 6.4.0; I successfully create logs with indexes on logstash - Kibana see's the inside of those logs in Dev Tolls - but for some reason when I go to Management-\>Index Patterns -\> Create new Index - and I pick the indexes I'm looking for the circle for 'creating' is spinning forever- I've left it for 7 hours without result - I even stopped logstash when logs had only few MB - still it was spinning constantly. […](https://imgur.com/a/7PkKxEG) 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"}}}}} ---

> [@jmckeown](#): > > "read\_only\_allow\_delete":"true" 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 Cheers Rashmi ---

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 ---
