"overhead spent" over and over during periods of time

Hi,
We have a one node cluster where JvmGcMonitorService warns about overhead like this:

The logfile:
[2018-10-02T13:03:24,173][WARN ][o.e.m.j.JvmGcMonitorService] [VzhkwYM] [gc][73354] overhead, spent [1.1s] collecting in the last [1.6s]

The server have much more RAM than i think it should need, but what do i know.

Dont seem that the GC heap_used_percent go over 75.. during these messages its around 45%-50%

I should add that we have bought an application that is running ES as storage, and its running 5.3.2.
1 node, 9 index, 45 shards (5+1).

By running this command:
(Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "http://localhost:9200/_cluster/stats?human&pretty" -UseBasicParsing).indices.docs.count
I get 170 705 283 (seems high)

When i run this:
(Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "http://localhost:9200/*/_search" -UseBasicParsing).hits.total
I get 3 552 172

Whats the difference?

indices.store: 74GB

Will also add that we have alot of nesting fields in our documents, and also includes documents like pdf and doc files.

Dont really know where to start to look, can anyone Point me in the right direction.
Can it be to many shards per index with so many documents?

Anyone?
