Hello All,
When i update x-pack license using
`curl -XPUT -u elastic 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license?acknowledge=true' -d @license.json`
i got this error.
{`"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"process_cluster_event_timeout_exception","reason":"failed to process cluster event (register license [88a50275-26cc-4ecc-abe8-18e108e4cf3f]) within 30s"}],"type":"process_cluster_event_timeout_exception","reason":"failed to process cluster event (register license [88a50275-26cc-4ecc-abe8-18e108e4cf3f]) within 30s"},"status":503}`
Thanks

Would it be possible to see the output from the [cluster stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-stats.html) to get a better understanding of the state of the cluster?

The cluster is in a red state. Check the Elasticsearch logs to see if you can find the reason.

I don't know if this is the problem or not ?
