Which version of Elasticsearch are you using? How many indices/shards does this problem affect? What is the size and specification of your cluster? What type of storage are you using? Have you been backing up your data using the [snapshot API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshot-restore.html)? ---

Elasticsearc version 8.10.4 115 shards affect from this problem We use security onion. When I saw that there was no traffic, I looked at the logs and saw that Elasticsearch was red. 200 GB disk hhd harddisk with sn there is no snaphot ---

> [@bkubra](#): > > hhd harddisk with sn The excerpt you shared indictes that you have corrupt indices due to hardware failure, so I suspect you will need to rebuild your cluster with new storage. As you have no snapshot I believe you have lost your data as I am not aware of any way to recover from this that does not include restoring from snapshot. ---
