ILM action status - Waiting for all shard copies to be active

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

We have configured ILM policy but it's changing the phase "hot" to "warm" but after that not changing further phases like "cold" and "delete". We see action status "Waiting for all shard copies to be active".

ILM definition

PUT _ilm/policy/acquia-watchdog-ilm-policy
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"min_age": "0ms",
"actions": {
"set_priority": {
"priority": 0
}
}
},
"warm": {
"min_age": "1d",
"actions": {}
},
"cold": {
"min_age": "7d",
"actions": {}
},
"delete": {
"min_age": "30d",
"actions": {
"delete": {
"delete_searchable_snapshot": true
}
}
}
}
}
}

Could you please assist at this moment.

Thanks and regards
Braham Pal singh

Is there unallocated shards in the cluster?

Hi @warkolm ,
Not sure, having very limited expertise in ES. Could you please help me how to get unallocated shards in the cluster.

Thanks,

GET _cat/allocation?v is the best way
