Hi @deepakmahajan00,

Welcome to the community! Which minor version of Elasticsearch 7 are you using? I would recommend using a version that is [under active support as per the EOL matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) which would be v8.x or v7.17.

Can you share your configuration and any errors in the log files?
