Hi,

I am experiencing a problem where one of the elasticsearch clusters that I am monitoring within a Kubernetes cluster is having troubles being monitored with metricbeats.

The metricbeat agent is having problem with the following metricsets: index\_recovery, index\_summary, shard, ml\_job and cluster\_stats. While running the command:

```auto
./metricbeat test modules` I am getting the following error:

```

I am getting these errors:

```auto
index_recovery...
error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event
 index_summary...
  error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event
shard...
   error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event
ml_job...
   error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event
 cluster_stats...
   error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event

```

For the other metricset the data retreival is working, by example for index or node\_stats

This is perfectly working in several other elasticsearch clusters.

What could be the problem? is there a way to increase the timeout?

Thanks,

Zareh
