Hi, I'm using elasticsearch in my logstash setup and having some real troubles for a couple of days now. My elasticsearch cluster state is red and I can see that there are some unassigned shards, and in the servers logs I can see that there is a error with recovering a specific index. Do you have any clue about fixing this unfortunate situation?
