SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query], all shards failed]

Question

Recently our server was rebooted without correctly shutting down the Elastic Search / Kibana. After that reboot, both applications were running but no indices were getting created anymore. I checked logstash setup in debug mode and it is sending data to Elastic Search.

now all my created windows report this error:

Oops! SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query], all shards failed]

I tried restarting Elastic Search / Kibana, and cleared some indices. I searched a lot but wasn't able to troubleshoot this correctly.

Current Cluster Health Status is RED as shown in picture.

Any help as of how to troubleshoot that is upvoted. Thank you

what concerns me in the logsis this:

Answer 1

1. Try to delete your index and create it again. Helps sometimes.

2. Or maybe you are trying to query for an int and string field inside the same query.

Answer 2

This error also comes, when the IndexTemplate for the indices is not defined.
