Whenever I am trying to create a visualization from a Saved Search I am getting the below error:-

![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/3/3d410d1ce198bbad78d128ad534ef8dca29a3c3a.png)

On ElasticSearch logs I am seeing the below error:-

```
[2015-10-29 06:42:46,776][DEBUG][action.admin.indices.mapping.put] [ESMasterData2] failed to put mappings on indices [[.kibana]], type [visualization]
org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException: failed to process cluster event (put-mapping [visualization]) within 30s

```

Only visualization creation seems to be failing I am able to search in the Discovery tab also logstash is able to write in the ES Indices.

Kibana Version - 4.1.1  
ES Version - 1.7.1

Kibana Config

Looks like your ES node may be overloaded.  
How much heap have you given the JVM?

@warkolm - Heap - 30 GB as mentioned in the doc.

I am having a 4 Node Cluster each having RAM of 64 GB, 12 Core Servers & 1 TB disk.

My node stats looks like [this](https://gist.github.com/debraj-manna/144d46784d755d053e31).
