What are logstash indicies starting with 00?

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hi there,

I've experimented with logstash last month and got it working fine. However, today when trying to set up curator I noticed that along with the regular indicies "logstash-2019.05.20" for some days logstash seems to have created indicies along the pattern of "logstash-0019.05.20". I stumbled across it as curator wants to delete them.

I couldn't find any information and was wondering what these indicies are?

Could someone shed some light onto this?

Thanks!
Chris

What will you see:

GET _cat/indices ?
Is the index name with .logstash or logstash?
Because the data with . before is the monitoring/logging stuff.

The indicies were not with "." in front. They looked like regular logstash indicies which is why I thought it is normal but just couldnt find any information about it. Btw, logstash and ES 5.6

Unfortunately the indices are now gone due to curator (forgot the dry-run setting... :frowning: )
