Kibana queries timed out for some directories. Stack Tracking is not working. I know that when I only query on one directory, the query times out.

I have 12 nodes(9 data - 3 master).  
kibana 7.4.2  
elasticsearch 7.4.2

What do you mean by "directories" exactly, how does that translate into a query?  
What is the timeout error you are seeing?
