I have 2 Kibana nodes and the monitoring page keeps saying missing primary shard ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/0/e073f7238453df0b18da5357ce6e331e962ad941.png) GET \_cluster/allocation/explain shows nothing to explain ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/8/b8a3510bb3d14e1e280f7c03f764ff5a4c0a1e12.png) ---

Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂 ---

Thank you! That's pretty odd, but I have seen Monitoring take some time to age out when things like this change. Is it possible that there were any unassigned shards in the recent history? Is there anything in your Elasticsearch logs? ---
