Hi Team!  
I'm using the elastic version 8.11.1.  
Recently I began to notice an uneven distribution of indexes across data nodes.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/e/ce4aa5e86e8ff7a00e5bf1e5d42ce9fb81a45700.png)

Alert: Node v-elk-ed02 is reporting disk usage of 90% at February 2, 2024 3:44 PM EET

utilization

I mainly use 4 or 2 shards for indexes. Status cluster - green.  
What is needed for data to be distributed evenly across all data nodes?

Thanks from your help.

You can set `cluster.routing.allocation.balance.disk_usage` to a higher value to make it a higher priority.

But, something to take note is that the shard movement will be more aggressive with the disk usage set as a higher priority.

Thanks,  
how can I see the priority that is currently used for the cluster nodes? I also noticed that some shards with one index are located only on this node (all 4 are on one, but other shard nodes do not have this index).

This is an index without replicas, only 4 shards. And not only him.

The shard allocation heuristics setting priorities are mentioned in the doc I linked above.

You also can use the `GET _cluster/settings?flat_settings&include_defaults` API to get the all cluster settings including the default ones.

Thanks from information.  
Here is my command output, this is my first time encountering this and I don’t know what to do with it or where to start.

I currently have this value set to:

```auto
 "cluster.routing.allocation.balance.disk_usage": "2.0E-11",

```

What value would you recommend setting?

You can use the `PUT _cluster/settings` API to set that setting value to `1.0`.

Do I understand correctly that you need to execute the request:

```auto
PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "cluster.routing.allocation.balance.disk_usage": 1.0
  }
}

```

???

now GET \_cluster/settings

```auto
{
  "persistent": {
    "xpack": {
      "monitoring": {
        "collection": {
          "enabled": "true"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "transient": {}
}

```

thanks

Yup, you should start seeing shards being moved around.

thanks, Now the situation has improved a little. It looks like this:

I understand that the situation will not improve? from 150 to 279 GB

It really depends how your shard size distribution is like. If you have unbalanced shard size, then that will be the best you can get.

Сan you describe in simple words on what principle shards and indexes are distributed between nodes? According to the size of the fragments or their number? Since I’m constantly looking, I don’t have enough space on one node, and the rest are filled more or less evenly. In templates I usually use 2 or 4 shards.

now I have problem cluster status "yellow":

```auto
 {
          "decider": "disk_threshold",
          "decision": "NO",
          "explanation": "the node is above the low watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low.max_headroom=200gb], having less than the minimum required [200gb] free space, actual free: [169.8gb], actual used: [88.4%]"
        }

```

and

```auto
node shards disk.indices disk.used disk.avail disk.total disk.percent
v-elk-ed02 172 1tb 1.2tb 168.9gb 1.4tb 88
v-elk-ed03 743 1006.1gb 1tb 398.8gb 1.4tb 72
v-elk-ed01 743 1006.8gb 1tb 398.2gb 1.4tb 73
v-elk-ed04 658 1000.5gb 1tb 404.6gb 1.4tb 72
UNASSIGNED 4                                                          

```

How can I move shards by hand? or does it not make any sense? on all other nodes there is another 400 GB of free space, but on this 02 it is constantly on the verge

How large are your largest indices? How many shards do these have? Do you have an excessive amount of these allocated to the `v-elk-ed02` node?

hi,  
We mostly use 4 shards, less often 2 shards 1 replica. as an example:
