I have re insatlled elasticsearch 6.2.2 and now i am not able to create index for logstash-\*.

Why do you have 3 nodes, but only 1 data node? If you are starting out with Elasticsearch, I would recommend starting with a single node with default configuration. Just because you can have dedicated node types does not mean you should. ---

Ideally its suppose to be if any one node goes down the other node can replace it.I am new to this area.If I am wrong please guide me.Previously with elasticsearch 5.6.3 it was working fine. ---

If you are looking for high availability you should set up 3 nodes with default configuration (are master eligible and can hold data). Make sure they can connect to each other and set `minimum_master_nodes` to 2 according to [these guidelines](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/modules-node.html#split-brain) to avoid split-brain scenarios. Configure indices to have at least 1 replica so you have a copy of each shard even if one node is lost. ---

Can you show the content of the elasticsearch.yml files for the three nodes? ---

my doubt is like why I cant create any index pattern.and why the status is red? ---

The issue is that the status is red, which prevents you from making any changes. If we can see the configuration files we may be able to identify why it is red in the first place. ---

Excellent. That should allow you to make the changes you wanted. When posting config, please use the formatting tools in the UI so it is readable. ---
