Hi  
When i run :

> GET /\_cluster/health

I can see that the cluster is RED :

> {  
> "cluster\_name" : "es-monit-cluster",  
> "status" : "red",  
> "timed\_out" : false,  
> "number\_of\_nodes" : 7,  
> "number\_of\_data\_nodes" : 5,  
> "active\_primary\_shards" : 1641,  
> "active\_shards" : 3382,  
> "relocating\_shards" : 0,  
> "initializing\_shards" : 0,  
> "unassigned\_shards" : 2,  
> "delayed\_unassigned\_shards" : 0,  
> "number\_of\_pending\_tasks" : 0,  
> "number\_of\_in\_flight\_fetch" : 0,  
> "task\_max\_waiting\_in\_queue\_millis" : 0,  
> "active\_shards\_percent\_as\_number" : 99.94089834515366  
> }

So when i try :

> GET /\_cat/indices

I can see that the only RED index is :

> green open .monitoring-es-7-2022.08.19 -zEIzgiJRIi-XOYtzFXQUw 1 1 13166291 560425 9.2gb 4.6gb

Can i delete this red index without damaging the cluster ?  
Thanks

Yes you can.

But please note that you are perhaps overloading your cluster here and that the problem might happen again later.
