Unable to save default index pattern - Kibana-7.3

[deeps]

I have an elk stack with basic auth enabled.. meaning I have setup the password for elastic, kibana etc users.

Cluster was in fine state and kibana auth was working fine until I cleared indexes older than 30 days.

After the indexes cleanup, kibana/elastic auth wasn't working.

So i figured by looking at the deleted indexes that the .security index also got deleted.

So I reset the passwords using /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive and the auth is working now.

But for some reason, I'm unable to save the index pattern in Kibana.
Index Management -> add index pattern -> type index names -> select and done.
Then if I go to Kibana Discover, it again takes me to add index pattern.

Not sure what I'm missing

Please help.
