Hi, logs per second are growing and I want to move the ingest load from the data nodes to ingest only nodes. I have added an additional Elasticsearch ingest only node but I can see in the ingest stats, that the processed counter stay 0 from the ingest only node. All logs are still processed by the ingest roles on the data nodes. At least I suggest that some traffic/load will be handed by the new ingest node. Any thing that I missed ? ip heap.percent ram.percent cpu load\_1m load\_5m load\_15m node.role master xx.xx.94.10 39 73 15 3.83 3.25 3.02 cdhimrsw - xx.xx.94.12 60 73 44 3.98 3.03 2.76 cdhimrsw \* xx.xx.90.26 4 63 0 0.00 0.01 0.00 i - xx.xx.94.11 43 69 14 2.24 2.16 2.33 cdhimrsw - 4 node cluster, one of them Ingest only 2 filebeat server ~7000Events/sec 1 Kibana Version 7.16.2 best regards Uwe ---

You have to remove the ingest role from your data nodes... it is still on them that is why the ingests pipelines are still running on them... `xx.xx.94.10 39 73 15 3.83 3.25 3.02 cdhimrsw` that `i` is ingest... you then will need to specifically set the node roles See [Here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-node.html#node-roles) Then you will need to point your ingest client (filebeat / logstash etc) to that ingest node... ---

last hint brings me to the right direction. I have to add Ingest node to the output.Elasticsearch.hosts array and remove tha data nodes. Now it works, thanks a lot best regards Uwe ---
