Kibana failing to query elasticsearch

Hi All,

I'm getting an error while using a dashboard. Not able to figure out what is going wrong.


Error: Request to Elasticsearch failed: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<reused_arrays>] would be [1267582136/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267582136,"bytes_limit":1267571097},{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<agg [1]>] would be [1267574424/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267574424,"bytes_limit":1267571097},{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<reused_arrays>] would be [1267585744/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267585744,"bytes_limit":1267571097},{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<agg [3]>] would be [1267574424/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267574424,"bytes_limit":1267571097}],"type":"search_phase_execution_exception","reason":"all shards failed","phase":"query","grouped":true,"failed_shards":[{"shard":0,"index":"va","node":"KuXT-BxhQ7iSdONqNJZPtw","reason":{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<reused_arrays>] would be [1267582136/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267582136,"bytes_limit":1267571097}},{"shard":1,"index":"va","node":"KuXT-BxhQ7iSdONqNJZPtw","reason":{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<agg [1]>] would be [1267574424/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267574424,"bytes_limit":1267571097}},{"shard":2,"index":"va","node":"KuXT-BxhQ7iSdONqNJZPtw","reason":{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<reused_arrays>] would be [1267585744/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267585744,"bytes_limit":1267571097}},{"shard":4,"index":"va","node":"KuXT-BxhQ7iSdONqNJZPtw","reason":{"type":"circuit_breaking_exception","reason":"[request] Data too large, data for [<agg [3]>] would be [1267574424/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes_wanted":1267574424,"bytes_limit":1267571097}}]},"status":503}

The elasticsearch circuit breaker prevents running queries that would take down elasticsearch. Selecting less data or increasing your elasticsearch capacity should fix this.

Will adding more elasticsearch nodes help in this situation?

It should, but make sure you consider other factors that impact elasticsearch scale like the number of shards and replicas: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/_scale_horizontally.html
