elasticsearch, kibana, logstash, is up services
but elasticsearch log is :

and kibana error: No results found
What should I do
please guide me

I went ahead with this guide

But it did not work and did not work

2

this problem whit this qurey is fixed

curl -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://127.0.0.1:9200/_all/_settings -d '{
  "index": {
    "blocks.read_only": false,
    "blocks.read_only_allow_delete": false
  }
}'

but, Just minutes are correct and will be disabled again

If you are running low on disk, that's a great safeguard instead of corrupting your indices.

You can disable or change the watermark but I'd do that only for tests and never for production.

May be start new nodes or remove old indices you don't need anymore?

root@l-elk1:/var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices# du -sh .
84G

and

root@l-elk1:/var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices# ls -1 | wc -l
44

and

root@l-elk1:~# df -h .
Filesystem                  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/temp1--vg-root   97G   88G  4.6G  96% /

or

/dev/mapper/temp1--vg-root   97G   88G  4.6G  96% /

This indicates that the hard disk space is full
/var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices
If I erase everything that is here
Is it okay?

5

Yes. That's what I said.

No. Use the Elasticsearch DELETE index API.
First do a GET _cat/indices?v to know more about your existing data.

Thanks, Very Thanks
Result Command GET _cat/indices?v

Is all these indexes important on the server?
And is it useful?
All of this takes the storage server,
And ELK does not work
You tell which one should be erased

Well I can't speak for yourself. I mean you are collecting data with filebeat.
I don't know how long you would like to keep your data in elasticsearch.

If you don't need the data anymore from June you can probably run a

DELETE filebeat-2018.06.*

BTW you probably have too many shards per node.

May I suggest you look at the following resources about sizing:

Probably one single shard per index is ok and as you seem to have only one node, no replica would be better.
