Why the health of some indices are yellow?

I used the API "_cat/indices?v" to list all indices, and I noticed that the health status of some indices were yellow. I don't understand why the health status were yellow. Could anybody please explain this? Thanks.

bash-4.2# curl http://10.99.68.208:9200/_cat/indices?v
health status index                             uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size

Because you have only one node running in your cluster. So replication can not happen.
Start a new node or change the number of replicas for audit-wauiynwo5urarkptmbo5-201807.

BTW may be don't keep the default 5 shards for primaries if 1 shard is enough.
