How to resolve elasticsearch status red

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have one master 1 data and 1 search node,Then are running on AWS

During indexing ,cluster status became from green to red,and there is part
of unassigned shards,I terminated the only data node by mistake,and start a
new VM and let it join into cluster,It turns out status is still red and
All of shards is unassigned.

1.is there any way to recover the status to green?
2.is there any chance I can recovered the data node's data?because I
terminated the only data node
3.And if I met this situation again,I mean "During indexing ,cluster status
became from green to red,and there is part of unassigned shards".How can I
recover status to green

Had a similar issue. I managed to recover all my unassigned shards and get
the cluster back to a green status using the following procedure. It could
probably be streamlined but it works.

  1. Dump list of unassigned shards to text file. Using the following command

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state?pretty=true >>
/tmp/unassign.txt

  1. VI unassign.txt

  2. Search the file for UNASSIGNED

  3. Running the following command on each unassigned shard

curl XPOST -s 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/reroute?pretty=true' -d '{
"commands" : [ { "allocate" : {

          "index" : "*INDEX TO WISH TO REASSIGN*", "shard" : 0 , "node"

: "NODE YOU WISH TO ASSIGN IT TO", "allow_primary" : 1 }

    }

]

}’
If the shard is a number other than 0 change it to reflex that as well.

Good luck,

Jon

I would set back and ask the question: why are you using a single data node
and a single search node? Are you servers vastly different?

Dedicated search nodes have the primary function of offloading the result
aggregation process from the data nodes. However, you only have one data
node, so the search node is aggregating the results from a single server.
