Hi Team,

Kibana saved objects create api is taking forever, cluster tasks are pending for a long time.  
I am trying to create search, visualization, dashboards using kibana saved objects api.  
observed that it is dead slow and response time of the kibana node goes very high.  
I did tcp tuning from OS end and dont see any issues there.  
The heap usage is normal on all the cluster nodes.  
I am running with ELK 6.8 version.  
cluster status is always "green".

cluster pending tasks list goes high. The kibana node response time shows high in monitoring.

"number\_of\_pending\_tasks" : 69  
"task\_max\_waiting\_in\_queue\_millis" : 29914

When I checked the pending tasks it is showing the below entries taking long time.  
"source" : "create-index-template [kibana\_index\_template:.kibana], cause [api]"

Please advise how can I tune this and speed up the cluster tasks execution of object creation.

What is the output from the `_cluster/stats?pretty&human` API in Elasticsearch?

Apologies, I could not send the cluster stats whole output, But please let me know if you need specific info, I can provide.  
I have found the below task is showing long pending which is causing issue.  
please advise  
{  
"insert\_order" : 2770864,  
"priority" : "HIGH",  
"source" : "cluster\_reroute(async\_shard\_fetch)",  
"executing" : false,  
"time\_in\_queue\_millis" : 65907004,  
"time\_in\_queue" : "18.3h"  
},
