Hi

I use Elasti Stack 5.3 with X-Pack Monitoring.  
I found the following error.

[2017-03-29T23:55:39,432][ERROR][o.e.x.m.c.c.ClusterStatsCollector] [some host] collector [cluster-stats-collector] timed out when collecting data

And there is the following log(GC duration is 8.9s) in another host at the same time.

17-03-29T23:55:39,577][INFO][o.e.m.j.JvmGcMonitorService] [another host] [gc][old][34106][148] duration [8.9s], collections [1]/[9.3s], total [8.9s]/[30.8s], memory [22.2gb]-\>[7.7gb]/[29.8gb], all\_pools {[young] [1.2gb]-\>[292.8mb]/[1.4gb]}{[survivor] [113.1mb]-\>[0b]/[191.3mb]}{[old] [20.8gb]-\>[7.5gb]/[28.1gb]}

How do I avoid this error?

I checked [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.2/monitoring-settings.html#monitoring-collection-settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.2/monitoring-settings.html#monitoring-collection-settings) and confirmed xpack.monitoring.collection.cluster.stats.timeout is 10m in default.

So, it's weird because 10m is more than 8.9s
