Allocate missing replica shards

[Aris_Pratama]

hey all,

when i open tab monitoring, there is a report "Allocate missing replica shards."

what is that mean? is there something wrong with my configuration at filebeat.yml ? is the error something critical or just warning?

thanks,

May be you have only one node?

[Aris_Pratama]

yup, elastic + kibana.

but the data is from filebeat at some host, there are five host or more.

[dadoonet (David Pilato)]

So you are probably using default index settings, which means 5 shards and 1 replica.
If you don't need replicas, just set the number of replicas to 0 and your cluster will be green.

Otherwise, start new nodes.

thanks for the answer @dadoonet

but, will it affect the data what it was already in harvest from filebeat?

No it will not.
