Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is set to not detect or import dangling indices because itâs disabled. Dangling indices are indices that exist on disk but arenât part of the cluster state. To resolve this, you can enable the detection of dangling indices by setting the âgateway.auto_import_dangling_indicesâ to true. Alternatively, you can manually import the dangling indices or delete them if they are not needed. Always ensure to backup your data before making such changes to prevent data loss.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log â is disabled; dangling indices will not be detected or imported â to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: indices, dangling.
Log Context
Log â is disabled; dangling indices will not be detected or importedâ classname is DanglingIndicesState.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
this.isAutoImportDanglingIndicesEnabled = AUTO_IMPORT_DANGLING_INDICES_SETTING.get(clusterService.getSettings());
if (this.isAutoImportDanglingIndicesEnabled) {
clusterService.addListener(this);
} else {
logger.warn(AUTO_IMPORT_DANGLING_INDICES_SETTING.getKey() + " is disabled; dangling indices will not be detected or imported");
}
}
boolean isAutoImportDanglingIndicesEnabled() {
return this.isAutoImportDanglingIndicesEnabled;
