I have a single node elastic cluster with replication turned off. I have significant amount of data in the system (about 300MM records). When I load my Visualizations they load but are slow. However when I try to open dashboards, they not only take much longer (I understand due to multiple connections to the underlying visualizations) but they also error out and put ElasticSearch in a red status. I have a pretty powerful system with 8C/64GB/4.8TB SSD. What part of configuration would I have to change in order to fix this issue, I am assuming that 300MM is not too much for Elastic to handle on one node. So something else must be wrong. Any advice is welcome.

What is the output of the [cluster stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/cluster-stats.html)?

That looks fine. Is there anything in the Elasticsearch logs?

Unfortunately it has not broken since I posted this. I am trying to see if multiple users hitting the system at the same time is causing it. I will post the logs as soon as it fails.
