Elasticserach cluster in red state and a lot of unassigned shards

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Greetings, I was given a broken graylog cluster to fix. Upon examination, elasticsearch cluster (7 node: 1 master 6 data) was red as its fs was 100%. After clearing older data, I started noticing unassigned shards error. I kinda figured out what that meant by looking it in the web and I tried a lot of fix but didn't work. Here are some of the things I tried.

  1. After fs space was made available(1tb each total, used 50% now), I restarted all the data nodes - Unassigned shards no. increased initially but then subsided to original figure 1800
  2. I ran curl -s -X POST 'http://:9200$es-master/_cluster/reroute?retry_failed=true&pretty' - I get a lot of state started output with allocation id. it does assign a few like 10-15 but thats it.
  3. I also made sure allocation is enabled on all data nodes.
    C02RT2M5FVH6:~ mahars01$ curl -s "dfwlnpgles-10:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty"
    {
    "persistent" : { },
    "transient" : {
    "cluster" : {
    "routing" : {
    "allocation" : {
    "enable" : "all"
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }

But none of these seem to help.

Here are some info:

I check one of the unassigned shards
