Hi, After restarting elastic search data node, it is taking to much time for creating index, in kibana dash board getting request time out. almost 28hr over still shows red. { "cluster\_name" : "elk-stack", "status" : "red", "timed\_out" : false, "number\_of\_nodes" : 8, "number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 3, "active\_primary\_shards" : 791, "active\_shards" : 978, "relocating\_shards" : 0, "initializing\_shards" : 4, "unassigned\_shards" : 820, "delayed\_unassigned\_shards" : 0, "number\_of\_pending\_tasks" : 0, "number\_of\_in\_flight\_fetch" : 854, "task\_max\_waiting\_in\_queue\_millis" : 0, "active\_shards\_percent\_as\_number" : 54.27302996670367 Regards Sateesh ---
