When I try to create an index or write data to my Amazon OpenSearch Service domain, I get a ClusterBlockException. How do I resolve this?
Short description
When you create an index or write data to your OpenSearch Service domain, you might receive the following error message:
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "index_create_block_exception",
"reason": "blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/10/cluster create-index blocked (api)];"
}
],
"type": "index_create_block_exception",
"reason": "blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/10/cluster create-index blocked (api)];"
},
"status": 403Resolution
Here are common causes of cluster block exceptions:
- Lack of free storage space: For more information, see ClusterBlockException.
- High JVM memory pressure: To troubleshoot high JVM memory pressure, see Why did my Amazon OpenSearch Service node crash?
Amazon OpenSearch Service is the successor to Amazon Elasticsearch Service.
