Hi

I had my elastic instance all running fine, hosted on OpenStack, but then all of a sudden Kibana doesnt load and on checking the logs I realized there was an issue. I dont know how to fix it.

This is the issue \> [2019-12-12T18:41:25,739][DEBUG][o.e.a.s.TransportSearchAction] [node-1] All shards failed for phase: [query]

> ```
> [2019-12-12T18:41:25,739][WARN][r.suppressed] [node-1] path: /.kibana/_count, params: {index=.kibana}
