Hi,

We have configured circuit breakers which from time to time get triggered. We can see logs similar to this:

```
Example:
[request] New used memory 320131168 [305.3mb] for data of [<reused_arrays>] would be larger than configured breaker: 320116490 [305.2mb], breaking

```

Is there a possibility to detect which ES queries/requests triggered a circuit breaker?

Kr

Hi @mats990

unfortunately there is no way of logging the query that tripped the breaker. There is an open issue for adding this functionality here: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/11145](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/11145)

Thank you @Armin_Braun for finding the issue. This is the answer I was looking for
