Hi, I start the ES with bellow config. node.master: true node.data: true index.number\_of\_shards: 5 index.number\_of\_replicas: 1 index: analysis: analyzer: default: tokenizer: lowercase filter: [asciifolding,standard] bootstrap.mlockall: true http.port: 9200 http.max\_content\_length: 100mb # Disable HTTP completely: http.enabled: true First, when I start the ES with no data, the status is green. But after a while, when I index my data, it go to yellow. I have try to restart .... etc, but it's still yellow. What should I do to make it better ? The Server is: 24 core, 32Gb Ram. 25 Tb Free Disk Space. Thanks. -- ---

Yellow status means : everything is OK but you don't satisfy replica rules. That means that if one of your nodes disappear, you will lost some documents. You asked for 1 replica (default). But you run on a single node, so shards are not replicated. If this status bother you, you can: - set replica to 0 (you can do it live) - start a new node David Le 6 octobre 2012 à 09:52, kidkid [zkidkid@gmail.com](mailto:zkidkid@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi, > > I start the ES with bellow config. > > node.master: true > node.data: true > index.number\_of\_shards: 5 > index.number\_of\_replicas: 1 > > index: > analysis: > analyzer: > default: > tokenizer: lowercase > filter: [asciifolding,standard] > bootstrap.mlockall: true > http.port: 9200 > http.max\_content\_length: 100mb > > # Disable HTTP completely: > > http.enabled: true > > First, when I start the ES with no data, the status is green. > But after a while, when I index my data, it go to yellow. > > I have try to restart .... etc, but it's still yellow. > > What should I do to make it better ? > > The Server is: 24 core, 32Gb Ram. 25 Tb Free Disk Space. > > Thanks. > > -- -- David Pilato [http://www.scrutmydocs.org/](http://www.scrutmydocs.org/) [http://dev.david.pilato.fr/](http://dev.david.pilato.fr/) Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs -- ---

Hi, I read the document and see that: Replicas is a copy of shard. In my setting, it's 1, mean I will have 1 replica for each of 5 shard. The more replicas I have, the fast my ES could search. it don't relate to node.

I don't understand your answer. May be you can have look at my devoxx slides: [Elasticsearch - Devoxx France 2012 - English version | PPT](http://www.slideshare.net/dadoonet/elasticsearch-devoxx-france-2012-english-version) At the end, I explained that. There are also nice talks here [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/videos/) -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 7 oct. 2012 à 09:48, kidkid [zkidkid@gmail.com](mailto:zkidkid@gmail.com) a écrit : Hi, I read the document and see that: Replicas is a copy of shard.
