Elastic search is failing to perform bulk index

I'm using filebeat to ship the logs to elastic search. I have noticed that its failing to index the logs from 2 weeks.

File beat error:
ERR Failed to perform any bulk index operations: Post http://dt1es01p02:9200/_bulk: net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Elastic search log:
[DEBUG][action.admin.indices.create] [dt1es01p02] [bit-logs-2016.12.30] failed to create
ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException[failed to process cluster event (create-index [bit-logs-2016.12.30], cause [auto(bulk api)]) within 1m]

I'm not sure about this error, Is this something I need to change the config file in elasticsearch or filebeat.yaml?
How could I fix this issue? I've tried changing the bulk index,timeout, flush interval but no use

@iluvcode Any help?

What state is your cluster in?

I didn't get you. Are you asking about health, its green.

Have you checked threadpool setting, Since you are using _bulk API ,

Please try to increase it if possible.

It looks like it is timing out trying to create the new index. Which Elasticsearch version are you on? Do you have any non-default cluster settings? How large is your cluster? How many indices/shards do you have in the cluster?

@Christian_Dahlqvist @amar-tari i'm using 2.3.3 version. Here is my config on node3, which is similar on other 2 nodes except the nodename and networkhost will different(i'e hostname is selected for nodename,networkhost)

 # ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
#       Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
#       understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please see the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html>
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
 cluster.name: elkdev
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
 node.name: dt1es01p03
 node.master: true 
 node.data: true
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
# node.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
 path.data: e:\data
#
# Path to log files:
#
 path.logs: e:\logs
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
 bootstrap.mlockall: true
#
# Make sure that the `ES_HEAP_SIZE` environment variable is set to about half the memory
# available on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
 network.host: dt1es01p03
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
 http.port: 9200
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html>
#
# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
#
# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when new node is started:
# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
#
 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["dt1es01p01", "dt1es01p02", "dt1es01p03"]
#
# Prevent the "split brain" by configuring the majority of nodes (total number of nodes / 2 + 1):
#
 discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery.html>
#
# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
#
# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
#
# gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
#
# For more information, see the documentation at:
# <http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html>
#
# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------
#
# Disable starting multiple nodes on a single system:
#
# node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
#
# Require explicit names when deleting indices:
#
# action.destructive_requires_name: true
