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 [\] 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 [\] 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 [\] 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 [\] 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 [\] 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 [\] 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 [\] 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 [\] would be [1267574424/1.1gb], which is larger than the limit of [1267571097/1.1gb]","bytes\_wanted":1267574424,"bytes\_limit":1267571097}}]},"status":503} at [http://x.x.x.x/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=15104:28:10760](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=15104:28:10760) at Function.Promise.try ([http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:82:22203](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:82:22203)) at [http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:82:21573](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:82:21573) at Array.map (native) at Function.Promise.map ([http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:82:21528](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:82:21528)) at callResponseHandlers ([http://x.x.x.x/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=15104:28:10376](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=15104:28:10376)) at [http://x.x.x.x/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=15104:27:29944](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=15104:27:29944) at processQueue ([http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:38:23621](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:38:23621)) at [http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:38:23888](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:38:23888) at Scope.$eval ([http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:39:4619](http://x.x.x.x/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15104:39:4619)) ---

> [@Darshan\_Parab](#): > > circuit\_breaking\_exception > **[Circuit breaker settings | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/circuit-breaker.html)** 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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/master/_scale_horizontally.html) ---
