If you want someone to help please put some more effort into creating the thread and provide information about you setup, which version of Elasticsearch you are using and how you arrived at this error.

sure. I m using elasticsearch 7.10.2 version. My setup is like- Filebeat is reading logs from 100 MS and sending to elasticserach via logstash.

so in filebeat----  
paths:  
- /var/log/\*.log

logstash.conf ---

input {  
...  
}

filter {  
...  
}

output {  
...  
}

ELasticsearch.yml ---- just added port number (using default configurations).  
http.port: 9200

A guess is that you're running out of disk space?

Yes. I tried to increase space by following command -

PUT \_cluster/settings  
{  
"transient": {  
"cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low": "100gb",  
"cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high": "50gb",  
"cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.flood\_stage": "10gb",  
"cluster.info.update.interval": "1m"  
}  
}  
Still Elasticsearch throwing same error message.

after that I checked elaticsearch disk space by -

GET \_cat/allocation

but It is showing disk space = 7.9 GB and available space=2.2 GB.

Any reason ???

You need to change `read-only-allow-delete block`.

```auto
PUT ilm-history -3-0001/_settings
{
    "index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete": null
}

```
