Hi all  
How can i increase the limit of the eql\_sequence in the elastic breaker settings.  
I constantly got this error while using sequence in eql

```auto
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "circuit_breaking_exception",
        "reason" : "[eql_sequence] Data too large, data for [sequence_inflight] would be [3221906504/3gb], which is larger than the limit of [3221225472/3gb]",
        "bytes_wanted" : 3221906504,
        "bytes_limit" : 3221225472,
        "durability" : "TRANSIENT"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "circuit_breaking_exception",
    "reason" : "[eql_sequence] Data too large, data for [sequence_inflight] would be [3221906504/3gb], which is larger than the limit of [3221225472/3gb]",
    "bytes_wanted" : 3221906504,
    "bytes_limit" : 3221225472,
    "durability" : "TRANSIENT"
  },
  "status" : 429
}

```

I have try to increase all the jvm for elastic and now the only value that i cannot increase are this eql\_sequence inside the breaker setting.  
Or is there any other ways to fix this error.

Thanks for your time.

Ok i figured it out.  
The JVM i set on the coordinate nodes are only 4GB so the overall amount of bytes limit are only about 3GB, so i just increase the jvm on the elastic server and everything works fine.
