my elasticsearchdocker container shows "unhealthy status" on ec2 ubuntu

```auto
1e6908aa941e docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.3.2 "/bin/tini -- /usr/l…" 7 weeks ago Up 7 weeks (unhealthy) 9200/tcp, 9300/tcp elk_es03_1

```

but when I run GET \_cat/health?v

GET \_cluster/health

GET \_cat/nodes?v

it shows green

```auto
❯ curl -XGET "1.1.1.1:9200/_cluster/health"
{"cluster_name":"docker-cluster","status":"green","timed_out":false,"number_of_nodes":3,"number_of_data_nodes":3,"active_primary_shards":24,"active_shards":48,"relocating_shards":0,"initializing_shards":0,"unassigned_shards":0,"delayed_unassigned_shards":0,"number_of_pending_tasks":0,"number_of_in_flight_fetch":0,"task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis":0,"active_shards_percent_as_number":100.0}%

```

```auto
curl -XGET "1.1.1.1:9200/_cat/nodes?v"
ip heap.percent ram.percent cpu load_1m load_5m load_15m node.role master name
...... 26 100 5 0.23 0.23 0.25 cdfhilmrstw - es03
...... 27 100 5 0.23 0.23 0.25 cdfhilmrstw - es01
...... 66 100 5 0.23 0.23 0.25 cdfhilmrstw * es02

```

the container still shows "unhealthy" status and elasticsearch got exited once.  
how can I recover the container health status?
