Hi, Strange issue. Kibana and indexing works correctly at first but after several weeks, the UI always shows that Kibana is searching. No matter what I try to query or time interval, it's always searching and never returns anything. I don't see anything funky in the logs and if I delete all my indices, everything works fine. The only thing I can think of is that every 6 days, I delete an index that is 6 days old, because I don't have enough machines and disk space. Cluster health seems okay: { - cluster\_name: "prod", - status: "green", - timed\_out: false, - number\_of\_nodes: 12, - number\_of\_data\_nodes: 11, - active\_primary\_shards: 154, - active\_shards: 154, - relocating\_shards: 0, - initializing\_shards: 0, - unassigned\_shards: 0, - number\_of\_pending\_tasks: 0 } Running on Ec2. performance looks okay on each node. My indexes total about 8TB across 11 machines. I have one machine set as a read only ES node and that's where Kibana lives as well. The instance types are m3.2xlarge. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Tony ## -- Please update your bookmarks!
