I restarted ELK cluster and since then I’m seeing a problem with Search guard plugin not turning to Ready state in Kibana, causing kibana inaccessible.

Following is the status shown when I try to login to Kibana.

plugin:searchguard@7.4.0-36.2.0  
Setting up index template.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

I see nothing suspicious in the log. If Kibana doesn’t load, try to clean Kibana cache:

```auto
cd kibana
rm -rf optimize/bundles/*

```

Then restart Kibana.

Did you change your configuration before restart? If cache cleaning doesn’t help and you changed the configuration, provide the following data:

1. Enable debug for Elasticsearch Search Guard [Search Guard logging | Security for Elasticsearch | Search Guard](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/troubleshooting-setting-log-level#turn-on-debug-logging-temporarily). Provide the new debug level ES log.
2. kibana/config/kibana.yml
3. elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml
4. elasticsearch/plugins/search-guard-7/sgconfig/sg\_config.yml

Thanks Sergey, was able to resolve the issue by deleting the .kibana\_xxxx\_admin\_x tenants.
