I have faced with the following issue:

I run ES in Docker and mount data directory with all indices:

`-v /etc/elasticsearch/data/:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data`

After restarting ES, two indices: `.monitoring-data-2` and `.monitoring-es-6-2017.07.13` were not initialized and displayed as red.  
I removed them from directory `/etc/elasticsearch/data/nodes/0/indices` and started ES again.  
But after restarting, those two indices were not generated again.

Does anybody know what should be done to create indices `.monitoring-data-2` and `.monitoring-es-6-2017.07.13` again?
