Hi , I am feteching the data via python script and getting the following error: elasticsearch.exceptions.ConnectionTimeout: ConnectionTimeout caused by - ReadTimeoutError(HTTPConnectionPool(host='hnode07', port=9200): Read timed out. (read timeout=30)) I am using the following command to set the connection res = es.search(index='event\*', doc\_type='farm',size=5000, body={"sort": [{"@timestamp": {"order": "asc"}}],"query": {"match": {"id": id}}},request\_timeout=30) ---

Is your elasticsearch cluster running on the same host and the python client? I have noted that size param you are asking for but first, what do you see when you increase the timeout param from 30 to 60? ---

No elastic search cluster is running on different machine and I am running the script from a different machine. One interesting thing I found it's getting timeout in first 2-3 attempt but after that it's working fine and I am getting the output. You can see this . First time it failed due to time timeout , second time it was almost near to timeout and third time it resolved within 1-2 seconds. I have highlighted the start and end time of every execution for your reference.
