Curator and disable shard allocation

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hey Guys,

We have set up a ES-cluster on a very powerful machine, where 1 node have
the SSD assigned and the other nodes the slow HDD´s.

We want to reallocate the indices after 7 days to the HDD´s which is very
easy using the curator-tool.

Logstash is configured to send the indexed events to port 9200 on which the
SSD-ES-Node is listen too.

But we elasticsearch rebalances the index between the SSD and the HDD node,
making the performance advantage of the SSD useless.

So i´ve search and found the cluster.routing.allocation.enable:none parameter
for elasticsearch.

I´ve I now disable routing allocation for the indexes, will curator still
work?

Thanks

Hi,

yes i found that article but as soon as i start the HDD-node, elasticsearch
starts to reallocate shards to it and thus if you search sth. in Kibana it
will also searched from the slow HDD´s which we want to avoid.

We want that the whole index lies on the SSD until we reallocate it using
curator
