Hi

Our application teams are getting time outs. Error in update document for userId: and exception:Exception while executing updates for user:None of the configured nodes were available, and the searches are timing out.

Error message on the cluster nodes are showing:  
[ERROR][shield.authz.esnative] [node name] error occurred while checking the native roles for changes.

This problem started on 9 Jan. I can see all cluster nodes where patched CentOS 8 Jan.

We have not been able to find any possible solutions to this problem,.

The problem is happening on both test and prod environment.

All help appreciated.

Regards  
Alexander Schou
