Dear Fellow,  
I've counter the problem in my elasticsearch container. The problem is seems like elasticsearch cannot load the index and it is exhausted my resource. Here's what I found when seeing docker container stats

> CONTAINER CPU % MEM USAGE/LIMIT MEM % NET I/O  
> elk\_elasticsearch\_1 119.52% 1.395 GB/3.946 GB 35.34% 33.22 MB/8.596 MB  
> elk\_kibana\_1 0.00% 147.5 MB/629.1 MB 23.44% 1.948 MB/6.108 MB

My configuration is the default configuration from Elasticsearch. And I hosted it in my C4.Large EC2 instance. I used Elasticsearch version 2.2.1

This is the error from my Elasticsearch container :

I've search so many post in this discussion, but didn't find similar problem.  
I've just hitting the wall now, and our production logging is in trouble now.  
please help me friend.

Your node is overloaded, you need to add more resources to it or the cluster.
