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 there was another cluster/allocation/explain api which gave me the below error
```auto

```
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.

What is the output from the `_cluster/stats` API?

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.
```auto
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS
zke8gd5bh2ha elastic_elasticsearch global 7/7 elasticsearch:7.9.1
npet3foigz26 elastic_kibana replicated 1/1 kibana:7.9.1
syu2is3lizuz elastic_proxy replicated 2/2 dockerflow/docker-flow-proxy:latest *:80->80/tcp, *:443->443/tcp, *:8200->8200/tcp, *:9200->9200/tcp
8ina06vrcujt elastic_swarm-listener replicated 1/1 dockerflow/docker-flow-swarm-listener:latest
```
Does it have anything to do with the "Basic" License I reverted to recently?
