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.

A data node joined the cluster: es-data-01.

No recommendations are linked to this insight.

Data nodes store shards and handle indexing and search for assigned data. When a new data node joins, the cluster might relocate shards to use the added capacity.

During rebalancing, existing nodes can carry more shards and later disk or CPU load until allocation settles.
