hi,

I have my filebeat agent (7.4) is still running but it stop to fill index.

In my log, I see the message :  
`pipeline/output.go:121 Failed to publish events: temporary bulk send failure`

I try to change the bulk\_max\_size in filebeat.yml with no effect....

```auto
  bulk_max_size: 10240
  max_retries: 12

```

any idea ?
