I keep seeing the following error in logs, still loads all the data, just wondering what might be causing it. I am ingesting into ES via ELB on AWS, running multiple logstash threads on a dedicated instance.

[ERROR] 2017-12-13 20:38:17.459 [[.monitoring-logstash]\>worker 0] elasticsearch - Encountered a retryable error. Will Retry with exponential backoff {:code=\>500, :url=\>"[http://host/\_xpack/monitoring/\_bulk?system\_id=logstash&system\_api\_version=2&interval=1s](http://host/_xpack/monitoring/_bulk?system_id=logstash&system_api_version=2&interval=1s)"}
