Which version of Elasticsearch are you using? Which queue do you want to increase? Why do you want to do this? ---

version 7.5. I got following error: ![simaney](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/f/3f7c04f5098ead37ef76ed28ff579a1daf33ff2d.jpeg) ---

What is the full output of the [cluster stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.7/cluster-stats.html)? Have you read [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/why-am-i-seeing-bulk-rejections-in-my-elasticsearch-cluster)? > [@mpniel](#): > > version 7.5. This is very old and has been EOL a long time. I would recommend that you upgrade. ---

> [@Christian\_Dahlqvist](#): > > full output of the [cluster stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.7/cluster-stats.html) Yes I read that post. About the cluster stats , do you mean the queue\_capacity parameter under "enrich".? ---

No, I would like to see the whole thing. How many indices and shards are you actively indexing into? ---

About 900 indices and 1800 shards ---

Why are you actively indexing into so many indices and shards? It sounds like this may be the problem. If we assume a bulk size of 1000 documents, which is quite common, it is possible that this will end up sending a very small number of documents to a vary large number of shards, which is inefficient. I would recommend trying to improve your sharding strategy or segment the data so bulk requests target fewer shards. I do not think increasing the queue capacity will help you much as it does not increase indexing throughput. ---

What I sent is the total number of indices and shards. בתאריך יום ב׳, 22 במאי 2023, 22:10, מאת Christian Dahlqvist via Discuss the Elastic Stack ‏\<[notifications@elastic.discoursemail.com](mailto:notifications@elastic.discoursemail.com)\>: ---

How many are you actively indexing into? Look at your indexing pipeline(s)and judge how many index name combinations that may be active at any point in time. ---
