Hi I had closed an index using the following - ` curl -X POST "node1:9200/filebeat-index123/_close"` When reopened the same `curl -X POST "node1:9200/filebeat-index123/_open"` The status changed to yellow which was initially green before closing it . `yellow open filebeat-index dyXHg-ZKSZ-0KTFRmqhssQ 5 1 96282 0 23mb 12.7mb` What could be the possible cause of this status change Logs :: > ``` > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,798][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] applying cluster state version 55 > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,798][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] set local cluster state to version 55 > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,799][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [cluster_reroute(async_shard_fetch)]: took [43ms] done applying updated cluster_state (version: 55, uuid: EfKsxhG9TH2OTKTynjw0Hw) > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,921][DEBUG][o.e.c.a.s.ShardStateAction] [node1] [filebeat-2018.06.25][2] received shard started for [shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][2]], allocation id [SEH8FPTgT-6oDIT0nq2dYw], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]] > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,922][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [shard-started[shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][2]], allocation id [SEH8FPTgT-6oDIT0nq2dYw], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]]: execute > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,922][DEBUG][o.e.c.a.s.ShardStateAction] [node1] [filebeat-2018.06.25][2] starting shard [filebeat-2018.06.25][2], node[EYR6YfKPQ-GZG0kXwRlnDQ], [R], recovery_source[peer recovery], s[INITIALIZING], a[id=SEH8FPTgT-6oDIT0nq2dYw], unassigned_info[[reason=INDEX_REOPENED], at[2018-06-26T06:03:10.920Z], delayed=false, allocation_status[no_attempt]] (shard started task: [shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][2]], allocation id [SEH8FPTgT-6oDIT0nq2dYw], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]) > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,922][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] cluster state updated, version [56], source [shard-started[shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][2]], allocation id [SEH8FPTgT-6oDIT0nq2dYw], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]] > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,922][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] publishing cluster state version [56] > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,973][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] applying cluster state version 56 > [2018-06-26T11:33:12,973][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] set local cluster state to version 56 > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,013][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [shard-started[shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][2]], allocation id [SEH8FPTgT-6oDIT0nq2dYw], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]]: took [91ms] done applying updated cluster_state (version: 56, uuid: wgsbxYc5S3uMoDBx9x6Sdg) > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,212][DEBUG][o.e.c.a.s.ShardStateAction] [node1] [filebeat-2018.06.25][3] received shard started for [shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][3]], allocation id [y_FBMagCSeWzjAMHid2PnQ], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]] > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,212][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [shard-started[shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][3]], allocation id [y_FBMagCSeWzjAMHid2PnQ], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]]: execute > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,212][DEBUG][o.e.c.a.s.ShardStateAction] [node1] [filebeat-2018.06.25][3] starting shard [filebeat-2018.06.25][3], node[EYR6YfKPQ-GZG0kXwRlnDQ], [R], recovery_source[peer recovery], s[INITIALIZING], a[id=y_FBMagCSeWzjAMHid2PnQ], unassigned_info[[reason=INDEX_REOPENED], at[2018-06-26T06:03:10.920Z], delayed=false, allocation_status[no_attempt]] (shard started task: [shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][3]], allocation id [y_FBMagCSeWzjAMHid2PnQ], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]) > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,213][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] cluster state updated, version [57], source [shard-started[shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][3]], allocation id [y_FBMagCSeWzjAMHid2PnQ], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]] > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,213][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] publishing cluster state version [57] > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,248][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] applying cluster state version 57 > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,248][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] set local cluster state to version 57 > [2018-06-26T11:33:13,288][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [shard-started[shard id [[filebeat-2018.06.25][3]], allocation id [y_FBMagCSeWzjAMHid2PnQ], primary term [0], message [after peer recovery]]]: took [76ms] done applying updated cluster_state (version: 57, uuid: 5Am02aUTREyIQRx_EhQR3Q) > > ``` ---

Once you close an index it removes all the replicas. Then upon open it needs to recreate and reallocate them. If you wait, it should return to green. ---

Suppose initially i had set 3 replicas , after I close the index , you are saying these settings will be lost and it will recreate again with default number of replicas and shards which is (1 and 5 respectively ) and not with the previous settings (which were 3 replicas ) ---

If you had 3 set then that is what it will reallocate. ---
