Cluster Health Status Yellow - Too many unassigned shards

Hello,
My cluster status is Yellow and I have from a total of 1062 shards, 531 unassigned. And the number of unassigned is increasing.
Any hints please!

This usually means you only have one Logserver instance in your cluster. There are primary and replica shards, by default one of each - this allows for failover in case one server goes down. In this case since you only have one server in the cluster, there is not a backup server to carry the shards so the status is Yellow.
You will need to add another instance to the cluster to make that a Green status.

So the Yellow Status means that this instance is not having any problem and operates smoothly.
But in case I want redundancy I need to allocate a new instance in another machine! ?

That is correct. However keep in mind that the status shown is for the overall cluster, not the individual instances in them.
