Hi,

Few months ago I installed metricbeat in K8S cluster and everything was working fine. All of a sudden after 1-2 months I get error:

`Temporary bulk send failure - Drop batch`

```auto
INFO	[publisher]	pipeline/retry.go:223 done
INFO	[publisher]	pipeline/retry.go:159	Drop batch
ERROR	[publisher_pipeline_output]	pipeline/output.go:180	failed to publish events: temporary bulk send failure
INFO	[publisher_pipeline_output]	pipeline/output.go:143
INFO	[publisher]	pipeline/retry.go:213	retryer: send wait signal to consumer

```

Why do I get this error and how can I fix this error without uninstalling everything?

**PS: Metricbeat is running on about 40 clusters.**
