"Last checked December 29, 2017" might be the culprit.  
At that time, the shards might not all have been allocated, but today they are. I'm not sure, though, why the check hasn't occurred since then.

It should be doing those checks. If you open the developer window of your browser and go to the Network tab, you should see XHR queries going out to `/api/monitoring/v1/clusters/<cluster-id>`

If you look at the response tab, what do you see?
