Hi!  
I increased the request\_timeout and I have the same problem.  
My elasticsearch version is 2.3.4 and kibana version 4.5.3.  
Elasticsearch and kibana are running in a debian server with 6gb RAM and 4 cores without ssd.  
Elasticsearch has 355 indices (one per day).  
Any solution? =S  
Thanks in advance.

Can't tell without logs but I guess you have too many shards per machine.

Hi!  
A solution can be create a index per month for example?  
Regards!

Can be. Or at least reduce the number of shards per index.
