hi, I am running elasticsearch with one node and currently sahre on the elasticserach **1000/1000** is this what causes elasticserach not to be able to create indexes? is there an idea for the problem that I experienced thanks, hambali ---

Do you mean shard, not share? ---

How many indices and shards do you have? What version are you on? ---

Why do you need so many indices? How large are they? ---

Easier for me to do backup day, beat {winlogbeat, filebeat, auditbeat} around 200 mb and i make index network evry day, is it efficient to separate indexes every day? ---

You may want to move to monthly indices, as that is super small and you're wasting resources having so many small shards. You can also look at using [ILM](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ilm-start.html) to manage this for you. In the meantime, consider using a reindex job to "merge" these into monthly indices. That'll make a huge difference. ---

For now what should i do, do i have to reindex all existing indices? Please adavace ---

You can change the shard limit - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/allocation-total-shards.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/allocation-total-shards.html) - to get around this temporarily. But it'd be strongly recommended to reduce your shard count by using ILM. ---

Thanks solution i will configure indices once every month, and then i will configure ILM. ---
