Hi All,

I would like to know if there is a possibility of viewing the recent changes (history) made to the ELK stack. Because I witnessed that the stack is missing quite a huge number of shards this morning but the required indices are intact.

So I would like to get the history from Elasticsearch to know as to who made what changes recently in the past - all superusers' history of changes made.

Thanks in advance,  
Arun

Your Elasticsearch logs should mention some of these changes.
