Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to match an index pattern but the provided pattern is invalid or empty. This could be due to a syntax error or a non-existent index. To resolve this issue, you can check the index pattern for any syntax errors and correct them. If the index does not exist, create it before using it in the pattern. Also, ensure that the pattern is not empty as Elasticsearch requires a valid pattern to match indices.
