Hello,

I have a proposal to implement SearchGaurd in my ElasticSearch cluster. The ES cluster has so many indices currently. After implementation of Search Gaurd I need to enable the shards allocation, but unfortunately iam not able to track the progress of shard allocation for that particular time. Since the process consumes a lot of time , it is not practical to wait till n number of hours to verify the ES cluster health.

My requirement is to track the shard allocation progress before initializing the SearchGarud. Can you help me on this regard? Thanks in advance

You'd need to ask the searchguard developers sorry, we aren't able to provide assistance with it as we are not familiar with it.

We would also recommend using our free Security functionality, which is available in 6.8 and 7.1.
