Hi guys,

does anybody know, how one can get rid off that message on the main monitoring page:

#### Top Cluster Alerts

> Elasticsearch cluster status is yellow. Allocate missing replica shards.  
> Last checked July 10, 2017 6:06:58 AM (since 1 days 11 hrs 55 min ago)

But right after that you see:

````Elasticsearch
Kibana Health: Green```

P.S. all built-in watchers (like XYZ-cluster-status and so on) have been removed.

Thanks!

@jetnet which version of Kibana/Elasticsearch are you running?

So, it just took very long time for my ES instance to start, and:

```auto
Elasticsearch cluster status is red. Allocate missing primary shards and replica shards.
Last checked July 18, 2017 7:55:52 PM (since 59 min ago)

```

and as usual, right below you see:

````auto
Kibana Health: Green```

strange things happens...
