I'm trying to simply get the list of nodes (from /\_cat/nodes) in my cluster but my request times out no matter what server in my cluster I hit with the request.

I assume it's because it's having trouble reaching on of my nodes. Is there any way to debug what is going on here?

/\_cat/shards is also showing the same behavior.

Thanks in advance.
