Unassigned replica shard stuck in that state

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Here is my node setup:

Cluster A
1 master
1 query
2 data

Cluster B
1 monitor

nodes in Cluster A are feeding Marvel data to the monitoring node in
Cluster B.
2 primary shards are spread to 2 data nodes but replica shards are stuck in
unassigned state (waited over an hour)
There is no error in the log. What am i doing wrong?

Previously we just deleted indices because they were just marvel data but
we can't keep doing it when we go into production.
Thanks!

Hi,

I assume you mean that shards of the .marvel- indices are left unassigned?
If so, that's because your marvel cluster has 1 node so there is no place
to put the replicas. This is fine, as long as you understand that losing
that monitoring node may mean loosing the collected monitoring data.

I also wonder if you have set the following line in you monitor node
elasticsearch.yml file:

marvel.agent.enabled: false

This is needed to stop marvel from collecting data from the monitoring node
as well, which will lead to confusion.

Cheers,
Boaz
