Every time I check the health of an index it show yellow. There are 5 primaries & 1 replicas ![yellow%20cluster%20health](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/2/4262210718856eb40fc9dc6e39e312590d657b32.png) I've also executed curl 10.1.109.5:9200/\_cat/indices?v & it's output was 5p 1r. Along with this also executed curl 10.1.109.5:9200/\_cat/shards?v and it's output looks like logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 4 p STARTED 314922 183.9mb 10.11.109.5 d4s8Zyj logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 4 r UNASSIGNED logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 2 p STARTED 313971 181.5mb 10.11.109.5 d4s8Zyj logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 2 r UNASSIGNED logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 3 p STARTED 314587 182mb 10.11.109.5 d4s8Zyj logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 3 r UNASSIGNED logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 1 p STARTED 314388 183mb 10.11.109.5 d4s8Zyj logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 1 r UNASSIGNED logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 0 p STARTED 315084 182.6mb 10.11.109.5 d4s8Zyj logstash\_apchelogs-2019.05.15 0 r UNASSIGNED Now how can I change it's ealth to Green?? ---

Most likely you have only one node in your cluster. You can: - start other nodes so replicas will be allocated - change the number of replicas to 0 - stay in this situation because in a test context, that can be perfectly fine ---
