Hi, I'm using Elk 7.3 and installed filebeat on a few linux servers. Now on kibana it appears N shards of NN failing when I open a dashboard.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks,  
Bruno

If someone is going to be able to help you with this I suspect you will need to provide more details. Exactly what steps did you go through? What is the status of the cluster? What is the status of the indices in the cluster? Is there anything in the logs?

Hi,

Since this is o PoC I've just decided to delete the indexes and start from the beginning.

I was just trying to figure out if this is a known issue because there where only 3 servers using filebeat to send system and audit module logs to a logstash server and then to elasticsearch.

I'm reading the documentation now to double check the configuration

Thanks,

Bruno
