"Forbidden" Is Returned When I Try to Delete an Index Pattern

Symptom

When I delete an index pattern on Kibana, the error message "Forbidden" is displayed.

Possible Causes

The reason why the index pattern could not be deleted was that the .kibana index was read-only. This typically happens when the disk usage exceeds a preset threshold.

Solution

On the Dev Tools page of Kibana, run the following command to cancel the read-only state of the .kibana index:

PUT .kibana*/_settings
{
"index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete":null
}
