Hello,

How can I set the max number of requests that a Keep-Alive Connection can serve before it is closed.

I am looking to set the `max` parameter here. Any pointers in this regard is much appreciated.

Welcome to our community! 😃

I'm not sure what the link you have provided has to do with Elasticsearch. Can you elaborate please?

Hello,

Thank you for responding. My apologies for not being clear.

I am trying to see if there is a way to set maximum number of http requests a keep-alive connection could serve after which elastic server closes the connection.

(If I understand correctly in keep-alive header this is achieved by the max parameter and I am looking for a way if elastic search supports this)
