What are the logs saying? What is your configuration? How many docs, RAM, indices, shards...? Well. Impossible to help without any knowledge about your platform/logs. ---

Probably 90 shards on 2 nodes is not needed here? Not sure what is intended here but for your current dataset I'd use: - one shard per index instead of 5 (default) - 3 nodes with minimum master nodes set to 2 Can't help more. ---
