An alias pointing to a closed index disables the UI to create more index patterns when Security is enabled #20920

ismael-hasan · 2018-07-18T09:05:56Z

Kibana version: 6.3.0 - can reproduce also in earlier versions

Elasticsearch version: 6.3.0

Server OS version: Windows 10

Browser version: Chrome 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Browser OS version: Windows 10

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): zip

Describe the bug:
When using security, if we have an alias pointing to closed indices the create index pattern UI gets stuck.

Steps to reproduce:

Start Elasticsearch (with security enabled) and Kibana Note that I can only reproduce it in a cluster with security enabled; if disabled, I cannot reproduce it.
Create 2 test indices and an alias:

POST test1/test1
{
  "test":"test"
}

POST test2/test1
{
  "test":"test"
}

POST /_aliases
{
    "actions" : [
        { "add" : { "index" : "test1", "alias" : "alias1" } },
        { "add" : { "index" : "test2", "alias" : "alias1" } }
    ]
}

Go to Management --> Index Patterns --> Create Index Patterns
The UI works properly
Close one of the indices:

POST test1/_close

Go to Management --> Index Patterns --> Create Index Patterns - it gets stuck retrieving the indices.

Expected behavior:
Being able to create index patterns

Screenshots (if relevant):
The UI gets stuck in:

Errors in browser console (if relevant):
Chrome console shows an unhandled promise rejection error, due to index closed:

Another user has reported this. The cause wasn't clear to them. Perhaps an explanatory message might be added describing the workaround (delete the aliases) in the UI while ES debates how to solve the underlying problem?

TomonoriSoejima · 2019-03-27T02:48:12Z

It does appear to be fixed in 6.6.2 but it would be nice if you can confirm that.

ryanjok · 2019-11-08T01:41:47Z

@bmcconaghy I just experienced this in case 00401676. @TomonoriSoejima mentions that this may be resolved in 6.6.2, but looking here and in elastic/elasticsearch#32238 I wasn't able to find any reference to it officially being patched?

ryanjok · 2019-11-14T22:42:07Z

@bmcconaghy following up on my previous message. Would like to confirm this for the customer.

matthiesm · 2019-11-22T21:30:04Z

@bmcconaghy Can we get a confirmation on this one. It's getting a bit long in the tooth. Thanks in advance, not sure there's a bunch to do other than confirmation. Thanks
