I can't seem to find a reason why my .kibana primary and replica shards are unassigned. My cluster is up and running, and all indices are assigned except my .kibana index. Any idea why this would be?

Ok solved. Looks like two nodes went out at the same time that had the kibana primary and replica so my cluster couldn't find the data!
