Elasticsearch ClusterException

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

I have a 3 node cluster and another server running logstash. Sometimes the collect stops and the follow error appears in logstash log.The elasticsearch servers don't show this type of communication failure. After some minutes the problem normalize and the collect is established again.

{:timestamp=>"2018-08-29T11:59:33.985000-0300", :message=>"retrying failed action with response code: 503 ({\"type\"=>\"cluster_block_exception\", \"reason\"=>\"blocked by: [SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE/2/no master];\"})", :level=>:info}

Why this problem happen ? All the elasticsearch servers run with the same version (5.6) but logstash runs in the 2.4 version. It can be a network error ? Or compatibility error ?

Can you help me ?

Regards.

You should look at the logs of Elasticsearch to find out why.

Can you share your Elasticsearch config file as well?

Hi warkholm ! Thanks for answer me.

When i visualize this exception in logstash logs nothing happens in my elasticsearch nodes...i dont see any changes in logs where i can make a relation...
