MaxListenersExceededWarning in Kibana

[Wolfram_Haussig]

Hello,

While working with Kibana(modifying visualizations, logstash pipelines,...) I got a lot of timeouts today so I looked into the error log of Kibana to see if I could find an error message. This is what I found:
MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 message listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
at _addListener (events.js:280:19)

I use Kibana 6.5.4. After restarting Kibana the error is gone.

Can anyone tell me what this means? Do I have to set a config setting to increase the listeners?

EventEmitter is a class that gets extended to allow subscribing to events. Sounds like subscriptions are not getting cleaned up when something is destroyed. Any chance you can create a reliable way to recreate the issue? Could you please file a bug at https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md
