Hi Team,

I have created 3 server for the elasticsearch, one is master and data node and 2 are only data node.

They are able to form the cluster, but when i use postman api to check i am getting status as red.

also i used below command to check, i am also getting same error.

curl -XGET '[http://10.4.1.169:9200/\_cluster/health/team\_search](http://10.4.1.169:9200/_cluster/health/team_search)'

{  
"cluster\_name":"team\_search",  
"status":"red",  
"timed\_out":true,  
"number\_of\_nodes":3,  
"number\_of\_data\_nodes":3,  
"active\_primary\_shards":0,  
"active\_shards":0,  
"relocating\_shards":0,  
"initializing\_shards":0,  
"unassigned\_shards":0,  
"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":100
