Irregular timeout exceptions on watchers

Hello,

We've been seeing some of the watchers throwing "timeout" exception. Please note that we are not seeing this behavior consistently. It happened successively for past 2 days but didn't throw and exception today.

 "result": {
    "execution_time": "2021-12-16T09:00:00.234Z",
    "execution_duration": 60001,
    "input": {
      "type": "search",
      "status": "failure",
      "error": {
        "root_cause": [
          {
            "type": "timeout_exception",
            "reason": "java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Timeout waiting for task."
          }
        ],
        "type": "timeout_exception",
        "reason": "java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Timeout waiting for task.",
        "caused_by": {
          "type": "timeout_exception",
          "reason": "Timeout waiting for task."
        }

Can someone please advise on what could we be doing wrong here?

Thanks.

There is a dedicated timeout parameter, see Watcher search input | Elasticsearch Guide [7.16] | Elastic

do you know why your searches take so much time? Maybe solving that would be better than increasing a timeout.

Thanks
