I am trying to bulk load to elastic cloud and get connection reset by peer error. Looks like it is getting trying to write back to my server using a 10.\* IP address. I'm not supposed to log into the command line shell on the cloud instance I believe but access it from localhost shell. If I try to run it on my local server it says > 413 Request Entity Too Large > # 413 Request Entity Too Large > > * * * > nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu) > curl --user $pwd -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST '[https://58571402f5464923883e7be42a037917.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/0/\_bulk?pretty](https://58571402f5464923883e7be42a037917.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243/0/_bulk?pretty)' --data-binary @drug-event-0004-of-0004.json **Post [https://10.11.131.72:18241/0/\_bulk?pretty:](https://10.11.131.72:18241/0/_bulk?pretty:) net/http: HTTP/1.x transport connection broken: write tcp 172.17.0.2:51240-\>10.11.131.72:18241: write: connection reset by peer** ---

637M If that's too big can I bulk load the zip file? ---

Http limit is 100mb iirc so yes split into multiple bulks. I'd do something like 10mb at a time and try to decrease or increase. ---
