Hello, just an update as I was able to solve the issue. The health was:
cluster_name: BigLog status: red timed_out: false number_of_nodes: 1 number_of_data_nodes: 1 active_primary_shards: 1175 active_shards: 1175 relocating_shards: 0 initializing_shards: 0 unassigned_shards: 1195 And the amount of unassigned shards came from the number of replicas: 1 and number of nodes 1 . So , a copy of each shard was expecting a new node for being replicated. For solving that, I did remove the repica of each index i.e : curl -XPUT "http://XXXXXXX:9200/logstash-2014.05.01/_settings?"; -d '{ "index" : { "number_of_replicas" : 0 } } ' Then, I saw that I still had 280 unassigned shards. I got their indexes by doing: curl XXXXXX:9200/_cluster/state and then looking for routing_nodes. As log did not say anything about them, I decided to remove those indexes: curl -XDELETE "http://XXXXXX:9200/$a/"; and the refresh: curl -XPOST "http://XXXXX:9200/$a/_refresh"; now my cluster is in green (as I've removed the replicas) and logstash is working . { cluster_name: BigLog status: green timed_out: false number_of_nodes: 1 number_of_data_nodes: 1 active_primary_shards: 1200 active_shards: 1200 relocating_shards: 0 initializing_shards: 0 unassigned_shards: 0 } Cheers, Arnau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
