I have a K8s ECK deployed as this :

but during usage and testing with metricbeats / filebeats / other stuff i'm getting continuously spammed in the elasticsearch log by these messages :

to the point the log rate overwhelms the system :
"...to create fsnotify watcher: too many open files..."
The solution so far was to set the logging to "ERROR" but i might miss important warnings.
I do not need a license, i just need to use the free features and make some sense of the logs ( and not have like 100Gb of logs per day just with useless messages ).
I could not find the documentation on this, so i'm turning to your advice.
Thanks !

There is an [active GitHub issue](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/96365) for this problem. I would recommend following the thread for updates.
