shards.json is not valid json

This does not come from an API endpoint directly does it?
It is not valid json, and so cannot be processed:

[{"index":"pingboard","shard":"0","prirep":"p","state":"STARTED","docs":"284","store":"1.3mb","ip":"172.17.0.157","node":"instance-0000000008"},{"index":"github_webhook","shard":"0","prirep":"p","state":"STARTED","docs":"3","store":"3kb","ip":"172.17.0.157","node":"instance-0000000008"},
...

Valid JSON

So you may also want to specify the criteria by which you are determining that it is not valid.
