Hi,

I hope this is the correct group for asking about this behavior, sorry in 
advance if it isn't but I would greatly appreciate some help. I'm pretty 
new to ElasticSearch itself, currently trying to setup an ELK stack to 
analyze a couple of logs.

Recently, I've tried to look around for a mechanism for data retiring and I 
started looking into the flush/close/delete options in ES. What I would 
like to do ultimately is create a cron job (maybe using Curator[1] for 
help) that would close indexes over a couple a days and delete them after a 
week. So as a test, I tried closing an index to see what would happen and, 
after I closed it, I noticed this error in the Kibana interface:

     Oops! ClusterBlockException[blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/4/index closed];]

the same doesn't happen if I simply delete the index. I would like to 
continue seeing data from more recent indexes in Kibana, but simply close 
older ones. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way for me to keep some older 
(Logstash sent) data closed in case I need to open and query it later?

Best regards,

Bruno C.
