Kibana Instances "Unable to Connect to Server"

@IanGabes Thanks for the attached diagnostic ... (UPDATE: this isn't actually your issue, leaving this up as a useful reference for people who do run out of space) the problem is that you have run out of disk space on your admin console cluster, causing queries to that cluster to fail, which the UI depends on.

If you have space on the allocator, you can use the API to up the capacity:

  • get /clusters/elasticsearch/ID/plan/current
  • save the json body in a text file
  • edit it to double the capacity
  • post that to /clusters/elasticsearch/ID/plan

If you don't have capacity there's a few options:

  • you can edit the "secret advanced" metadata to up the disk:ram ratio, there's another discuss post in which I describe how to do this, I'm on my phone so I'll link it in a separate post
  • you can shut some other clusters down first :slight_smile: post to /clusters/elasticsearch/ID/_shutdown .. note this deletes all the data forever unless you have snapshots enabled
