Default search timeout doesn't work

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

it seems like the following settings do not work for elasticsearch 7.17.10:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "search.default_search_timeout": "300s",
    "search.low_level_cancellation": "true"
  }
}

Long running searches are still not cancelled. Is there anything I can configure additionally?

Thanks

Hi @anon90868141

You may need to restart the nodes for the settings to take effect. Another option is to configure the request timeout in the client lib you were using.

I did a rolling restart and the searches are still not being cancelled. Any other ideas?
