Hi,

I am not able to index data can anyone suggest me how to solve this.

Did you check indexer disk space?
Assuming that's fine, continue with the distributed management console to see if you actually have indexer congestion or if your forwarder/search head is just confused.
If everything's showing as blocked in DMC, check for relevant error messages on the indexers.
