Hi All, I'm using elastic search with information as following:

```auto
    {
    "name": "3KOuo1W",
    "cluster_name": "common-cluster",
    "cluster_uuid": "H9IcVILhROqC76KMneIxlA",
    "version": {
    "number": "5.5.3",
    "build_hash": "9305a5e",
    "build_date": "2017-09-07T15:56:59.599Z",
    "build_snapshot": false,
    "lucene_version": "6.6.0"
    },
    "tagline": "You Know, for Search"
    }

```

Sometime, Elasticsearch throw error:

```auto
> {"log":"[2020-08-17T08:31:49,173][ERROR][i.n.u.c.D.rejectedExecution] Failed to submit a listener notification task. Event loop shut down?\n","stream":"stdout","time":"2020-08-17T08:31:49.180194296Z"}

```

I've been checking the server, the eslasticsearch using over 100% CPU.  
Anyone can help me to resolve this error?  
Thanks.

Welcome to our community! 😃

5.X is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol), you should really upgrade as a matter of urgency.  
Otherwise, is there more in your logs?

Thanks for your reply.  
Currently it's hard to upgrade new version because the system run over 3 years, and serve over 1 million users, also having many data with old structure that not compatible with new version.  
I can provide more logs. Can you help me? 🙂

Is that the only log entry, there's nothing before or after that?

That's true. Nothing before or after this log, therefore i can't know what's wrong 🙂
