Hello ! despite the title it is related to ES. somehow my ELK stack stop working after 50 shards or so (46) (9 day 5shards per indices plus kibana. ) I have to close indices to get it working again, OR I get 30000ms timeout error ... Heres the spec of the server so far. 4 vCPU 8 gig of ram Centos 7 Latest Kibana 4.5.3 Logstash 2.3.4 ES 2.3.4 Load average: 0.75, 1.05, 1.35 Ram usage average : 4.7gig out of 8 Need help, I plan to use that server for 30 to 60 indices. maybe more. and rotate monthly bi-monthly ---

Hi, Out of curiosity what is the size of these shards (`GET /_cat/shards`). Using one node for all the 50 shards means that the shards compete for the server resource (CPU but also memory), forcing the OS to load/evict page cache for example. ---

see anything relevent in that ? thank you Ive removed all replicas shard. ``` curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/.kibana/_settings' -d ' { "index" : { "number_of_replicas" : 0 } } ``` > curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/ftg-\*/\_settings' -d ' > { > "index" : { > "number\_of\_replicas" : 0 > } > } added a new device to output log. and now gets 30000ms error if trying to visualise data from last 7days. ---

Your indices are very small, you should use a single shard. Is there anything in the logs of ES? ---
