My Kibana installation is no longer working.  
Message: “Kibana server is not ready yet”.  
The following error messages:

```auto
[2024-07-23T17:17:13.463+02:00][ERROR][savedobjects-service] [.kibana_task_manager] Action failed with '[index_not_yellow_timeout] Timeout waiting for the status of the [.kibana_task_manager_8.7.0_001] index to become 'yellow' Refer to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.10/resolve-migrations-failures.html#_repeated_time_out_requests_that_eventually_fail for information on how to resolve the issue.'. Retrying attempt 4 in 16 seconds.

```

and

```auto
allocate_explanation":"Elasticsearch isn't allowed to allocate this shard to any of the nodes in the cluster that hold an in-sync copy of its data. Choose a node to which you expect this shard to be allocated, find this node in the node-by-node explanation, and address the reasons which prevent Elasticsearch from allocating this shard there.","node_allocation_decisions":[{"node_id":"xx-xx-xx-xx","node_name":"[NODE]","transport_address":"172.20.249.89:9300",

```

I would like to change the following setting:

```auto
PUT /.kibana/_settings
{
    "index" : {
        "number_of_replicas":0
    }
}

```

But how the hell do I do that on a Windows server?

Simple queries work via the browser using (Windows) Curl  
For example:

```auto
curl --cacert c:\_Mon\e\config\certs\xxx.crt -H "Authorization: Bearer xxx" https://[Node]:9200/_cluster/health

```

But that's as far as I get.. ☹

Sending a simple curl query to elasticsearch in windows is a nightmare. I can understand you deeply 😄.

You can install and use [postman](https://www.postman.com/) to send curl requests.
