Hi,

I am run EFK stack on Kubernetes for logging. For elasticseach we have 2 data, 1 master and 1 client node. Everything is working fine but i randomly get `502 bad gateway` error.

From dashboard:

```auto
Discover: Bad Gateway

SearchError: Bad Gateway

    at XMLHttpRequest.requestLoaded (https://kibana.logging.stakater.com/built_assets/dlls/vendors.bundle.dll.js:307:135225)

```

Endpoint triggered that is giving error:  
`https://kibana.logging.stakater.com/elasticsearch/_msearch?rest_total_hits_as_int=true&ignore_throttled=true`

I have updated my nginx configuration etc. but still unable to resolve this.

P.s. Let me know if more information is required from my side

Hey @ahmedwaleedmalik, do your Kibana logs contain additional information regarding the error? Also, if you [capture a HAR](https://community.box.com/t5/Managing-Content-Troubleshooting/How-to-Generate-Network-Captures-for-Troubleshooting/ta-p/366) of the request which is causing the 502, it'll help us diagnose further.
