OK, so you ran out of disk space and elasticsearch put the indexes into read-only mode. Once you have added or freed up disk space you need to tell elasticsearch to enable read-write. See [this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/forbidden-12-index-read-only-allow-delete-api/126067/12?u=badger) for how to do that.
