Hi, I'm having a single node cluster architecture where my` ELK is in a server (say servA)` and `Filebeat is in remote server`.

there are 2 remote servers say

`filebeat-A(fA) in serverB(sB) and filebeat-B(fB) in serverC(sC)`

these two filebeats pushes respective logs to my serverA..

> it was working fine untill filebeatA pushing logs to ELK of servA..(running fine for 10+ days)

> as soon as I pushed logs from filebeatB with include\_lines:['regex'] (this settings is not in filebeatA), every index turns **RED**..

then I stopped both fA and fB.. and checked index & cluster health.. everything become red.. I dont know whether that settings had the impact or any other problem

I tried `GET /_cluster/health/mdcp_contact`  
result is

So `unassigned` shards and tried reallocating and rerouting apis.. no help

Any suggestions or workaround?

Your issue is that, you disabled reallocation on those nodes. So Elastic does not know where to allocate these Shards.

```
PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "cluster.routing.allocation.enable": null
  }
}

```

This should solve this problem.

I tried this already..

```auto
PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "cluster.routing.allocation.enable": null
  }
}

```

also

```auto
PUT _cluster/settings
{ 
   "transient": { 
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable" : "all" 
  }
}

```

No improvement ☹

Do you run any reindex jobs right now? If so, stop this task and fireup the cluster reroute api.

Do you work with `

> node.attr.rack:

in your elasticsearch.yml?  
If so, is it implemented correctly?

Also i don't know if this is a proper way to fix such things, but for me it worked to do as :

> PUT yourredindex-\*/\_settings  
> {  
> "index" : {  
> "number\_of\_replicas" : 0  
> }  
> }

wait 5 Seconds and

> PUT filebeat-\*/\_settings  
> {  
> "index" : {  
> "number\_of\_replicas" : 1  
> }  
> }

After this you should take a look at you monitoring in Kibana, it should show you the allocation process of the index.

@Moritz_Kiesewetter

I tried these previously and also now but no breakthrough.. and Im not sure about reindexing job.. can you say how to stop it?

</div>

also my` exclude_lines` value is exclude\_lines: `['.*healthcheck.*','.*\/healthcheck\/healthcheck.do.*']` in` filebeat.yml`

Is the regex correct?

You can check it via one of these :

Since i'm still experimenting with the filebeat.yml, i can't really tell you. But either way, this should not lead to your shards not being allocated...
