Hi all

This error isn't very helpful:

![Screenshot from 2020-02-25 18-24-54](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/d/eddb25b8a5069510ca61836c3daf27de9913d069.png)

Anyone have advice for where to go from here? I don't see anything in my ES logs, either.

Thanks!

Is there a way to get more information from elasticsearch about the exact error?
