Elastic Search cannot login after disk full (>90%)

[zahir (zahiruddin)]

I suddenly unable to login Elastic Search after my snapshot backup is failed. I perform the snapshot backup after disk usage is more than 90%.

Now my snapshot failed and my disk is 100% usage.
Appreciate if anyone faced the same problem with mine able to help
thanks

Welcome to our community!

You will need to clear some data from the host, then restart Elasticsearch.

Thanks for your assist Warkolm. I have deleted one of the induces with 50GB size. I got 84% free space on my root now. I have restarted elasticsearch and received same result.

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them

Hi Warkolm, I manage to login after clear more indices and restart Elastic Search.

Thanks a lot for your assist.

Really appreciate it

Do not ever delete indices directly from the file system. ALWAYS use the APIs.
