We are using Logstash with an elastic search input plugin and elastic search output plugin. The data volume increased heavily during the peak hours between 10 AM - 5 PM Eastern time. And during this time frame, we observe a lot of timeouts in Logstash logs related to the input plugin. I have checked to access the source cluster through curl API and sometimes it takes more than 1 minute (even at sometimes close to 3 minutes for response) Is there a way to increase the timeout parameter value? can someone please guide me to resolve this issue? ````auto //{ 2954 rufus-scheduler intercepted an error: 2954 job: 2954 Rufus::Scheduler::CronJob "*/5 * * * *" {} 2954 error: 2954 2954 2954 Faraday::TimeoutError 2954 Net::ReadTimeout 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/protocol.rb:181:in `rbuf_fill' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/protocol.rb:157:in `readuntil' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/protocol.rb:167:in `readline' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http/response.rb:40:in `read_status_line' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http/response.rb:29:in `read_new' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http.rb:1504:in `block in transport_request' 2954 org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1193:in `catch' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http.rb:1501:in `transport_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http.rb:1474:in `request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http.rb:1467:in `block in request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http.rb:914:in `start' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/stdlib/net/http.rb:1465:in `request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/faraday-0.15.4/lib/faraday/adapter/net_http.rb:87:in `perform_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/faraday-0.15.4/lib/faraday/adapter/net_http.rb:43:in `block in call' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/faraday-0.15.4/lib/faraday/adapter/net_http.rb:92:in `with_net_http_connection' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/faraday-0.15.4/lib/faraday/adapter/net_http.rb:38:in `call' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/faraday-0.15.4/lib/faraday/rack_builder.rb:143:in `build_response' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/faraday-0.15.4/lib/faraday/connection.rb:387:in `run_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/elasticsearch-transport-5.0.5/lib/elasticsearch/transport/transport/http/faraday.rb:23:in `block in perform_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/elasticsearch-transport-5.0.5/lib/elasticsearch/transport/transport/base.rb:262:in `perform_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/elasticsearch-transport-5.0.5/lib/elasticsearch/transport/transport/http/faraday.rb:20:in `perform_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/elasticsearch-transport-5.0.5/lib/elasticsearch/transport/client.rb:131:in `perform_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/elasticsearch-api-5.0.5/lib/elasticsearch/api/actions/search.rb:183:in `search' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-elasticsearch-4.3.2/lib/logstash/inputs/elasticsearch.rb:285:in `search_request' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-elasticsearch-4.3.2/lib/logstash/inputs/elasticsearch.rb:233:in `do_run_slice' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-elasticsearch-4.3.2/lib/logstash/inputs/elasticsearch.rb:214:in `do_run' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-input-elasticsearch-4.3.2/lib/logstash/inputs/elasticsearch.rb:197:in `block in run' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/rufus-scheduler-3.0.9/lib/rufus/scheduler/jobs.rb:234:in `do_call' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/rufus-scheduler-3.0.9/lib/rufus/scheduler/jobs.rb:258:in `do_trigger' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/rufus-scheduler-3.0.9/lib/rufus/scheduler/jobs.rb:300:in `block in start_work_thread' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/rufus-scheduler-3.0.9/lib/rufus/scheduler/jobs.rb:299:in `block in start_work_thread' 2954 org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1425:in `loop' 2954 /opt/app/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/rufus-scheduler-3.0.9/lib/rufus/scheduler/jobs.rb:289:in `block in start_work_thread' 2954 tz: 2954 ENV['TZ']: 2954 Time.now: 2020-10-19 09:51:00 -0400 2954 scheduler: 2954 object_id: 2006 2954 opts: 2954 {:max_work_threads=>1} 2954 frequency: 0.3 2954 scheduler_lock: # 2954 trigger_lock: # 2954 uptime: 1667335.687528 (2w5d7h8m55s687) 2954 down?: false 2954 threads: 2 2954 thread: # 2954 thread_key: rufus_scheduler_2006 2954 work_threads: 1 2954 active: 1 2954 vacant: 0 2954 max_work_threads: 1 2954 mutexes: {} 2954 jobs: 1 2954 at_jobs: 0 2954 in_jobs: 0 2954 every_jobs: 0 2954 interval_jobs: 0 2954 cron_jobs: 1 2954 running_jobs: 1 2954 work_queue: 0 } ``` ```` ---
