Hi All, I have done my 6 node ELK cluster setup and created a test index. but after i created a test index shards are not getting relocated to other node and cluster status is changing to "RED" and i am getting the below error , hence can someone please assist me on this. I have checked all the YML configuration and logs and everything looks good. # ERROR { "index": "testes2", "shard": 3, "primary": true, "current\_state": "unassigned", "unassigned\_info": { "reason": "INDEX\_CREATED", "at": "2019-12-19T07:16:16.791Z", "last\_allocation\_status": "no" }, "can\_allocate": "no", "allocate\_explanation": "cannot allocate because allocation is not permitted to any of the nodes", "node\_allocation\_decisions": [ { "node\_id": "NgdWtAOZSO2awEU315Ko5A", "node\_name": "ateu5m-cbs-elk-es-vm1", "transport\_address": "172.17.3.199:9300", "node\_decision": "no", "weight\_ranking": 1, "deciders": [ { "decider": "enable", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]" }, { "decider": "disk\_threshold", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]" } ] }, { "node\_id": "-9NrqQqaTSqs0\_LO5pgONA", "node\_name": "ateu5m-cbs-elk-es-vm6", "transport\_address": "172.17.3.205:9300", "node\_decision": "no", "weight\_ranking": 2, "deciders": [ { "decider": "enable", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]" }, { "decider": "disk\_threshold", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]" } ] }, { "node\_id": "M6m\_eb5jT3aXS1le6hVjkw", "node\_name": "ateu5m-cbs-elk-es-vm5", "transport\_address": "172.17.3.198:9300", "node\_decision": "no", "weight\_ranking": 3, "deciders": [ { "decider": "enable", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]" }, { "decider": "disk\_threshold", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]" } ] }, { "node\_id": "Ggeh-XEPRi6wS-YpMrJNeg", "node\_name": "ateu5m-cbs-elk-es-vm4", "transport\_address": "172.17.3.200:9300", "node\_decision": "no", "weight\_ranking": 4, "deciders": [ { "decider": "enable", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]" }, { "decider": "disk\_threshold", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]" } ] }, { "node\_id": "zPl1fdyuRM6cfv\_SSzUY6g", "node\_name": "ateu5m-cbs-elk-es-vm2", "transport\_address": "172.17.3.202:9300", "node\_decision": "no", "weight\_ranking": 5, "deciders": [ { "decider": "enable", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]" }, { "decider": "disk\_threshold", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]" } ] }, { "node\_id": "e3F4LDawSqSlIaf-\_HZjKw", "node\_name": "ateu5m-cbs-elk-es-vm3", "transport\_address": "172.17.3.203:9300", "node\_decision": "no", "weight\_ranking": 6, "deciders": [ { "decider": "enable", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]" }, { "decider": "disk\_threshold", "decision": "NO", "explanation": "the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]" } ] } ] } # Below are few information about my environment.

You have disabled shard allocation... > `no allocations are allowed due to cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.enable=none]` ... and do not have enough free disk space ... > `the node is above the high watermark cluster setting [cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high=10gb], having less than the minimum required [10gb] free space, actual free: [6.3gb]` ---
