I have a cluster with status "red"
$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cluster/health | jq .

}
and some indexes with UNASSIGNED DANGLING_INDEX_IMPORTED
curl -s -XGET localhost:9200/_cat/shards?h=index,shard,prirep,state,unassigned.reason| grep UNASSIGNED

All other are "green"
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cluster/health?level=indices | jq .

What would be the process of further debugging this?
In Cluster Health | Elasticsearch: The Definitive Guide [2.x] | Elastic I read
Once you know the index that is having problems, other APIs that we discuss in this chapter will tend to be more helpful.
but I am not sure where to look at for the other APIs.
How to resolve the unassigned shards says that rerouting can fix this but I am not sure if there are any implications.
Edit1: fixed the quote
Edit2: add health?level=shards
