Hello,

I'm here because after having developped and clear all my grok filter on logstash, to have something very clear .. I've done a :  
curl -XDELETE 'localhost:9200/\_all'

Then a lot of errors appeared and I've decided to just delete my logstash-\* index to create it again and just keep my final attributs.

The problem is now, I can't create my logstash-\* index anymore with the time-based options, and I don't understand why.

I've check all my conf files and they seems ok and havn't change ☹

Are you talking about the logstash-\* index pattern in Kibana? Please elaborate on exactly what you're doing and what error message (or other unwanted behavior) you're getting in response.

Hi @magnusbaeck, yes I'm talking about the logstash-\* index pattern in Kibana.

I'm not having any error anymore, I just can't configure the index.
