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? ---

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. ---
