Master Node Disconnected
A master-eligible node has disconnected from the cluster. Losing masters can cause coordination instability and, in extreme cases, loss of quorum that makes the cluster unavailable.

The following is an example of what you might see when this insight is triggered. Real insights use live data and links from your deployment or cluster.
The disconnected node is: es-data-01 and es-data-02 Before the disconnection of the nodes, the system detected the following indications:

AutoOps shows different recommendations depending on how their conditions match your deployment or cluster.
Investigate disconnected node activity
Condition: Always shown for this insight.
Review tasks, slow search logs, and indexing logs from before the disconnect to find costly requests or errors that might have caused the node to drop.
The loss of master nodes can cause instability in the cluster, or in extreme cases can make the entire cluster become unavailable. The loss of master nodes can create a situation of lack of quorum causing the cluster to become unavailable until a new master is brought into the cluster.
