Hi,

My cluster is in red state due to following indicies are unassigned.  
.monitoring-es-6,

I tried to remove the indicies but still not working. Not sure what to do ?

[root@cs-els01 elasticsearch]# curl -X GET localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings  
{"persistent":{"cluster":{"routing":{"allocation":{"enable":"primaries"}}},"xpack":{"monitoring":{"collection":{"enabled":"true"}}}},"transient":{"cluster":{"routing":{"allocation":{"include":{"\_name":"no

Tried:

curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/_settings)" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'

> {  
> "persistent": {  
> "xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled": false  
> }  
> }'  
> {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"unknown setting [index.persistent.xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"unknown setting [index.persistent.xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings"},"status":400}
