Error sending data to elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
#1

I have come accorss with the following error. Is there anyone who have ideas with that?

2016/06/03 10:49:02.295137 client.go:190: INFO Bulk item insert failed (i=49, status=503): {"type":"unavailable_shards_exception","reason":"[topbeat-2016.06.03][2] primary shard is not active Timeout: [1m], request: [BulkShardRequest to [topbeat-2016.06.03] containing [10] requests]"}

#2

A 503 can indicate an overload which means the thread pools are busy and so the request is rejected.

#3

Yes I found it is the disk size problem
What files, like old data, and where should I delete in elasticsearch to make the beats feed data again?
And how can I make the data to just keep for some time and delete automatucally after a certain period as they become old data

Hi,

You can use curator https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/index.html to schedule delete

There are some example https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/examples.html

You might want to delete index older than 'x' days for instance

When I tried to run the command, it comes across with the following issues.

[Administrator@localhost elasticsearch]$ curator --host 172.16.1.245 delete indices --older-than 2 --time-unit days --timestring '%Y.%m.%d'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/curator", line 5, in
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

#6

I am now coming across with the problem like that
