Status 503 in elasticsearch

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I get the status 503 error when running the elasticsearch. It was working fine till yesterday, suddenly i am getting this error now.

{
 status: 503,
 name: "My First Node",
 cluster_name: "Mycluster1",
 version: {
   number: "1.7.2",
   build_hash: "e43676b1385b8125d647f593f7202acbd816e8ec",
   build_timestamp: "2015-09-14T09:49:53Z",
   build_snapshot: false,
   lucene_version: "4.10.4"
 },
tagline: "You Know, for Search"
}

I tried adding this line in the config file but it did not bring a change.

discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false

I also restarted the elasticsearch but even that did not resolve my issue.

Any help would be appreciated !!

You probably have something in logs, no?

I am adding the error message in log file:

The main error i see is "No known master node"

You probably changed other things in elasticsearch.yml file...

Will it be a good option to uninstall and reinstall elasticsearch? I have already built some indexes in kibana. Will it be lost when i reinstall elasticsearch?

You'd better fix the problem.

We can't help if you don't share what you did. e.g: what does your config file look like.

But you can reinstall if you wish as long as you keep the data dir around.
