Request timeout after 30000ms - should I set a higher value?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Just a quick update. I changed the setting from 30 seconds to 5 minutes (30000 --> 300000) but still have the same error:

Fatal Error: Courier fetch: Request Timeout after 30000ms

Any clue how to change the setting? I've updated the setting, restarted Kibana, but still the error persists. I'm starting to think that it might be related to Nginx.

I've created a file called/etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy-settings.conf with the following contents:

proxy_connect_timeout       300;
proxy_send_timeout          300;
proxy_read_timeout          90m;
send_timeout                300;
 
client_max_body_size        1000m;

This seems to have fixed the issue. I'm still a bit concerned since I pushed my system's load average to 7.5 before the query executed successfully.

I guess this is a limitation that should be addressed by adding more / better hardware. I'm kind of running on fumes with 2 CPU / 8 GB RAM for the amount of data that I'm querying. :sweat_smile:
