We have a small Elastic Search cluster consisting of 3 nodes. Looking back at some historic data that we are holding it would appear that some of our data is missing. This histogram below shows 2 50 minute periods where the number of events is noticeably lower. This wasn't the case when I last looked at this data a couple of days ago. [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zN6h62PQc6c/U\_W2ZsbZU7I/AAAAAAAAAGw/GZedfHblhCk/s1600/elastic%2Bsearch.png](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zN6h62PQc6c/U_W2ZsbZU7I/AAAAAAAAAGw/GZedfHblhCk/s1600/elastic%2Bsearch.png) Our index has 5 primary shards, 10 active shards and 0 unassigned shards. We have tried... - Flushing the index - Refreshing the index - Clearing the cache - Restarting the nodes ...but nothing has had an effect Does anyone have any recommendations about what might have happened or how we can go about debugging this?
