elasticsearch-1 | {"@timestamp":"2025-10-14T08:37:09.142Z", "log.level": "INFO", "message":"high disk watermark [90%] no longer exceeded on [Df6xPg2WTCKuibV5uvALVg][f721a1bfa567][/usr/share/elasticsearch/data] free: 101.6gb[11.2%], but low disk watermark [85%] is still exceeded", "ecs.version": "1.2.0","service.name":"ES_ECS","event.dataset":"elasticsearch.server","process.thread.name":"elasticsearch[f721a1bfa567][management][T#2]","log.logger":"org.elasticsearch.cluster.routing.allocation.DiskThresholdMonitor","elasticsearch.cluster.uuid":"uLh4OK3ATYSemq0cppOjgA","elasticsearch.node.id":"Df6xPg2WTCKuibV5uvALVg","elasticsearch.node.name":"f721a1bfa567","elasticsearch.cluster.name":"docker-cluster"}

On my system I still have 66 Gb available, plenty enough it ES to work but still watermark is 90% of disk

Maybe we should change this default settings https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/elasticsearch/configuration-reference/cluster-level-shard-allocation-routing-settings#disk-based-shard-allocation
