I do not understand your question, the `"cancellable" : false,` indices if a task can be cancled, and it is false in all of them.

Hey,

please do not use screenshots, but paste snippets instead or use a gist, see our documentation how to write a useful [ask for help](https://www.elastic.co/help).

are those nodes still up and running? Can you still index on them? So everything else is fine, but there are just these tasks?

Also, which ES version are you on?
