Elasticsearch data transfer and queries are very slow

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch, queries and data transfer are very slow and I am getting timeout errors. I found this information in the log files of the data nodes.

Elasticsearch and Kibana version 7.4.2
I have 13 nodes (3 master ,10 data nodes)
Each node has 64 GB of RAM and 5 TB of storage.
Each node jvm.options -Xms30g -Xmx30g

Timeout errors from where?

It looks like you have an update heavy work load and that you have about 3.7TB of data per data node. Is this correct?

When it comes to indexing and querying the limiting factor in a cluster is often the performance of the underlying storage. What type of storage are you using? Locally attached SSDs? Have you looked at how your storage is performing and how much iowait you are seeing, e.g. using the iostat utility?

Another thing to verify is that you are using compressed pointers. It looks like you are but this should be printed in the Elasticsearch logs on startup.

hi warkolm,

I get a timeout error on the Kibana stack monitoring screen and when transferring data from SQL to Elasticsearch using C # and NEST library.

hi @Christian_Dahlqvist

Yes true.

SSD and SATA mixture.

I didn't check iostat utility.Because idk how can i use it.

Elasticsearch Logs only showing this message :

[2020-12-23T16:08:01,003][ERROR][o.e.x.m.c.c.ClusterStatsCollector] [master-3] collector [cluster_stats] timed out when collecting data

maybe it helps

GET _cluster/nodes/hot_threads output:
