Encountered a retryable error

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everybody,

We are currently facing a performance problem with our logs.
Sometimes we have some delay in the arrival of the logs, i've checked the logs to identify the problem. This is the message :

[2020-01-07T15:30:24,946][ERROR][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Encountered a retryable error. Will Retry with exponential backoff {:code=>500, :url=>"https://XXX/_xpack/monitoring/_bulk?system_id=logstash&system_api_version=2&interval=1s"}

I've googlised this error, but I've not found anything interstant for me with the error code 500.

Someone already faced this issue ?

Thanks, have a good day :slight_smile:

Avlise,

Is this error from the Logstash logs? If so, I suspect that there is a corresponding error on the Elasticsearch server that may have more details.

Yes i see this error on the logstash logs.

I can see many errors in my elastic logs too, like :
[2020-01-07T16:29:34,448][WARN ][o.e.x.m.e.l.LocalExporter] [SOC-sl01q4] unexpected error while indexing monitoring document at org.elasticsearch.transport.TcpTransport.handlerResponseError(TcpTransport.java:1258) [elasticsearch-6.5.2.jar:6.5.2]
