Yes, Kibana creates them to store internal data. You can make check whether an index is a system:

  • navigate to Management > Elasticsearch > Index management
  • toggle “Include system indices”

Hi, Mikhail. I always disable the system indices, so I only view the indexes created by me, so the indices where showing without the include system indices enabled
