Hi, This is w.r.t an error observed in Canvas dashboard containing a elsql. We are getting below error: Unexpected error from Elasticsearch: [illegal\_argument\_exception] Illegal Capacity: -2 Please note that the index mentioned in the elsql has data in it. **Query is:** SELECT status,count(_) as CNT FROM "prd-gst-bg-jobs_" where created\_ts \> TODAY() and job\_type\_id NOT IN (16,27) group by status **Error is:** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/c/2c8152731e6353eeb2d9c9e2d585d9d6030b4176.png) ---

@abdulsofts - What ES version is this? - Also, if you run the same query outside Canvas (using the [REST API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.x/sql-rest-overview.html) is one example), I am assuming you get the same error, but do you also get a more complete error message in Elasticsearch logs? (I'm interested in the stack trace especially) - `prd-gst-bg-jobs` is an alias or an index? ---

Hi Andrei Stefan, Thank you for your response. ES version is 7.2. I think there are no related logs for this. Anyways, I will check again and post the logs if I find any. prd-gst-bg-jobs is the alias of index with which the query was working earlier and this issue was observed recently. ---

@abdulsofts can you be more specific on the version of ES? There isn't one single 7.2 version. Also, a [similar looking bug](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/43878) has been fixed for 7.2.2 version. So, it's important to know the exact version. If you are using a version earlier than 7.2.2, can you upgrade and test this again? Thanks. ---

Hi, Our elastic search version is 7.2.0. { "name" : "\", "cluster\_name" : "logging-prod", "cluster\_uuid" : "\", "version" : { "number" : "7.2.0", "build\_flavor" : "default", "build\_type" : "deb", "build\_hash" : "508c38a", "build\_date" : "2019-06-20T15:54:18.811730Z", "build\_snapshot" : false, "lucene\_version" : "8.0.0", "minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "6.8.0", "minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "6.0.0-beta1" }, "tagline" : "You Know, for Search" } ---

@abdulsofts then I recommend upgrading to at least version 7.2.2 as there are high changes the bug is fixed there. ---
