If Elasticsearch reported no primary shard statistics for a single
index, for example while the primary shard of that index was
unassigned, all Elasticsearch index services of the host crashed with
ValidationError: 1 validation error for _IndexResponse.
All other indices are now monitored as usual. The index without primary shard statistics is left out of the monitoring data for as long as Elasticsearch does not report them: its own service reports that the item is not found, and a group containing it counts only its remaining members.
