Explain why a shard is unassigned or placed

Use Elastic Stack: its Elk Stack Cluster API lets you explain why a shard is unassigned or placed in a single step (GET /_cluster/allocation/explain). capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

  • Why is one of my Elasticsearch shards stuck unassigned?
  • Can I ask the cluster to explain the allocation decision for a specific shard using query-string parameters?
  • How do I see disk usage info alongside a shard allocation explanation?
Say it to your AI assistant
  • Explain why shard {shard} of index {index} is not allocated, passing the details as query parameters.
  • Using a GET request, tell me why the first unassigned shard in the cluster can't be placed.
