Kibana NoShardsAvailable Exception

Hi Team,

I have been using Kibana to visualize and the last few days it is throwing error :NoShardsAvailableException, please find the snap below.

Note : Ignore the index name

Please note that I ran few queries to understand the unassigned shards and below is the output

Also to be noted that this docker cluster comprises of 7 nodes. Is there any setting I should perform to fix this error? This is a production level environment.

I just realized that I have configured 7 node elasticsearch with 7 node(Docker Swarm) cluster but in the _cluster/stats it only shows 5.
