I unfortunately introduced an error in my pipeline seetings, and now it is generating so much errors and traffic, that I can't even edit the pipeline back. In the console I get

> {  
> "statusCode": 504,  
> "error": "Gateway Time-out",  
> "message": "Client request timeout"  
> }

And using curl I get

> {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"process\_cluster\_event\_timeout\_exception","reason":"failed to process cluster event (put-pipeline-lgw) within 30s"}],"type":"process\_cluster\_event\_timeout\_exception","reason":"failed to process cluster event (put-pipeline-lgw) within 30s"},"status":503}

I've tried increasing the master\_timeout to 10 minutes for my PUT call, but it didn't go through.

How I can suspend all bulk and ingest traffic as I don't have control over the filebeat clients?

Use a firewall or similar.

Hi @warkolm,

Thanks for the suggestion, I managed the security settings on the Openstack instance and it helped. I seem to force myself too much in thinking in the box.
