Hello,

I am hoping that someone in the ElasticSearch Forum would kindly help me with an issue I am facing. I am seeing this in my elasticsearch log:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/9/e9a38323ecab75fd5f4f1a1de0eb4d28b736a3ca.png)

Had a read through and doing some research, can't seem to get the right answer.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Is there anything else in the logs? What is the output of the [get license API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-license.html)?

@Christian_Dahlqvist Thank you for coming back to me.

The elasticsearch logs does not show anything else besides the error posted in my initial question. Also looked in /var/log/messages and see no errors

The result of GET \_xpack/license returns:

```auto
{
  "license" : {
    "status" : "active",
    "uid" : "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX",
    "type" : "gold",
    "issue_date" : "2020-04-30T00:00:00.000Z",
    "issue_date_in_millis" : 1588204800000,
    "expiry_date" : "2021-05-03T23:59:59.999Z",
    "expiry_date_in_millis" : 1620086399999,
    "max_nodes" : 10,
    "issued_to" : "My Company",
    "issuer" : "API",
    "start_date_in_millis" : 1588204800000
  }
}

```

That looks fine. Not sure what is going on and there is not much to go on.

Yeah it is strange as the datanode itself is working as it is. I am just curious why this is in the elasticsearch log?
