Hi,
We have one master,data and client node. We could see that the cluster status become yellow since some of the system indices have replicas as 1.
How to change the system indices replicas as zero permanently.
System Indices: .monitoring-es-6-2017.08.11
As these system indices are generating on daily basis, We are in the position to change the settings daily. Is there a way to change this settings permanently?

yes, you can update the existing monitoring index template to configure no replicas. Or add another template with higher order that only sets this setting, so you dont have to touch the existing template. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/indices-templates.html#multiple-templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/indices-templates.html#multiple-templates)
