Hello,

I am trying to setup an elasticsearch cluster.

I setted up 9 nodes with these roles :

master-1 [master]  
master-2 [master]  
master-3 [master]  
data-1 [data, data\_hot]  
data-2 [data\_warm]  
data-3 [data\_warm]  
data-4 [data\_cold]  
data-5 [data\_cold]  
data-6 [data\_cold]

To store the elastic \_security index, we must have a node with data role in it.

But, after some investigations, indexes that should be in warm or cold node are staying in the data/data\_hot node.

Why is it staying in it ? How to moove indexes in the right nodes ?

Can you share a bit more information on that please.

Consider looking at `GET /_cluster/allocation/explain`.

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

> Can you share a bit more information on that please.

Yes, I have setted up the monitoring and one disk is filling very fast (the data/data\_hot one). I checked up the indexes, clicked on one and verifed the Current Phase in the Index Management of Kibana. The current Phase is cold.

> Consider looking at GET /\_cluster/allocation/explain .

Thank u for this. I am seeing that there are some interesting informations in it but I don't know what means :

- cannot allocate because allocation is not permitted to any of the nodes

- index has a preference for tiers [data\_content] and node does not meet the required [data\_content] tier
