Hi,

I have a single node instance that I want to run ES on, I have set '  
node.local: true' and disabled the Discovery but still the cluster health  
is yellow. I'm running  
Elasticsearch version 1.1.0

Thanks,  
Will

You have to set the replica level from 1 to 0 on single node to switch  
health from yellow to green.

I've set

index.number\_of\_replicas: 0

Is there something else I need to set?

Thanks
