Hello all, I'm having this weird status of `green` on a single elasticsearch box. There are two instances running and have created two node directories in the indices directory `0` and `1`. I'm using `monit` to make sure daemons stay up, so I'm assuming that `monit` has started both daemons. What is the proper way to stop one of the processes (short of `kill pid`) and move all the data back to node `0`. I think this may be causing another issue I've experienced at this discussion [Why is my status red? 0 relocating\_shards, 0 initializing\_shards, and 0 number\_of\_pending\_tasks](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/why-is-my-status-red-0-relocating-shards-0-initializing-shards-and-0-number-of-pending-tasks/2730). Here are two daemons running: `ps -ef | grep elasticsearch` ``` 496 1181 1 6 Jul13 ? 01:20:21 /usr/bin/java -Xms8g -Xmx8g -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Delasticsearch -Des.pidfile=/var/run/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.pid -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -cp :/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/elasticsearch-1.5.0.jar:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/*:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/sigar/* -Des.default.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -Des.default.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Des.default.path.data=/opt/elasticsearch/data -Des.default.path.work=/tmp/elasticsearch -Des.default.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch 496 1442 1 6 Jul13 ? 01:15:29 /usr/bin/java -Xms8g -Xmx8g -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Delasticsearch -Des.pidfile=/var/run/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.pid -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -cp :/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/elasticsearch-1.5.0.jar:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/*:/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/sigar/* -Des.default.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -Des.default.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Des.default.path.data=/opt/elasticsearch/data -Des.default.path.work=/tmp/elasticsearch -Des.default.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch ``` ---

Use [shard filtering](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-allocation.html#shard-allocation-filtering) (eg with the node name) to migrate the shards from one index to the other, then shut the empty one down. Also look at applying `node.max_local_storage_nodes`. ---
