Unable to Refresh Index Pattern in Kibana

Elasticsearch version:
7.9.1 and 7.10.2

Kibana version (if relevant):
7.9.1 and 7.10.2

Describe the issue:
Unable to refresh index patterns in Kibana

Steps to reproduce:

  1. enable FLS on some indices
  2. try to refresh Kibana index pattern - fails
  3. disable FLS on all indices
  4. Clear SG cache
  5. try to refresh Kibana index pattern - still fails

Expected behavior:
Index patttern gets refreshed and adds new fields

Provide logs:
Elasticsearch

Additional data:
Have tried with my personal account and the admin account

We have an issue open with our search guard support vendor for at least a week, that has not yielded anything fruitful as of yet.

Can you please post the content your your sg_roles configuration with FLS active?

Also, the logs you are providing seem to reflect that FLS still active. You also wrote that the refresh does not work when FLS is disabled. Do you also have logs (from Elasticsearch and Kibana) in this situation?

I applied FLS: null changes to wrong cluster.
This needs to be documented for FLS, DLS
Ideally, using FLS, DLS, field_masking should not restrict refreshing any kibana index_pattern

We would need the sg_roles with the FLS configuration to be able to tell what exactly went wrong here.

Thank you.

The problem you are observing results from the following factors:

Kibana stores index patterns, visualisations and other things in its own, private index (named .kibana; if you use multi-tenancy, there will be an additional suffix appended to the index name).

When configuring DLS or FLS for an index, this index will be automatically read-only. This is because otherwise a user would be allowed to manipulate data they might be not allowed to view.

The sg_roles configuration you posted above applies FLS to all indexes by using the index pattern *. This also includes the index used by Kibana. Thus, Kibana won’t be able to write to this index. This causes the errors you are observing.

The solution would be using a more specific index pattern like my_index or my_index_*.
