Failing ElasticSearch migration

If ElasticSearch indices have been created with an invalid name, the ElasticSearch migration will fail with the following error:

BASH

2026-Feb-18 12:39:57 PM [main] ERROR com.veridiumid.persistence.migration.Main 
co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch._types.ElasticsearchException: [es/indices.create] failed: [invalid_alias_name_exception] 
Invalid alias name [ELK_KEYSPACE.ELK_INDEXNAME]: an index or data stream exists with the same name as the alias
java.lang.RuntimeException: co.elastic.clients.elasticsearch._types.ElasticsearchException: [es/indices.create] 
failed: [invalid_alias_name_exception] Invalid alias name [ELK_KEYSPACE.ELK_INDEXNAME]: an index or data stream exists 
with the same name as the alias

Resolution:

Delete the incorrectly named indices and re-run the migration.

To delete the indices run the following command:

BASH

eops -x=DELETE -p=/ELK_KEYSPACE.ELK_INDEXNAME

# Or without using an alias

bash /opt/veridiumid/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch_ops.sh -x=DELETE -p=/ELK_KEYSPACE.ELK_INDEXNAME

To re-run the migration you can use the following commands:

BASH

## this is just to test during the update process
bash /opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migration.sh -i /etc/veridiumid/update-procedure/current/resources/migration_list.yaml

# Or
bash /opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/elk_ops.sh --update-settings

## because index was delete, it should be restored; depending on the index, one of below should be executed. Restore specific data
## for deprovision 
identity_deprovision-000001 
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -x


## for dormant device
dormant_device-000001
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -y


## for accounts
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -a
accounts-000001


## for identities
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -p
profiles-000001


## for fido devices
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -f
fido_devices-000001


## for devices
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -d
devices-000001

Example:

CODE

eops -l | grep dormant_device
##correct answer is with 000001 at the end.
dev642601221816.dormant_device-000001
##wrong index
dev642601221816.dormant_device

eops -x=DELETE -p=/dev642601221816.dormant_device
bash /opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/elk_ops.sh --update-settings
/opt/veridiumid/migration/bin/migrate_to_elk.sh -y
