I asked this in the Canvas forum and was advised to ask here instead..

[Canvas Forum Question](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/exclamation-triangle-errors-intermittently/209552)

I routinely get a few exclamation triangles in my canvas display.

Thanks.

As in [Tim's final request for clarification](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/exclamation-triangle-errors-intermittently/209552/8):  
a/ have you tried recreating the issue outside of Canvas?  
b/ Do you notice any elasticsearch queries failing intermittently elsewhere?

Especially b/. Anything in application monitoring, APM-type monitoring, anything that allows you to detect other intermittent query failures except in your canvas viz? Or is the viz the only thing you're using this cluster for?

I only use elasticsearch for this one application. I have not tried recreating the issue outside of Canvas. I only use Canvas. This Canvas application is what I need to have work.

I've tried reducing the frequency of sending data to elasticsearch but that doesn't seem to help. I also start a new index each month and I don't see an improvement at the start of the month.

Thank-you.
