Hi,

I try to trace all HTTP REST recuests for debugging purpose. I am indexing documents using an ingest pipeline on an Elasticsearch node which was deployed by ECK operator.

I followed the guide here: [Networking | Elasticsearch Guide [8.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html#http-rest-request-tracer)

I added the following configuration to set up the tracing

```auto
PUT _cluster/settings
{
   "transient" : {
      "logger.org.elasticsearch.http.HttpTracer" : "TRACE"
      "http.tracer.include" : ["*my-index*"]
   }
}

```

Using the following kubectl command I access the logs

```auto
kubectl logs --tail 10 --follow pod/elasticsearch-es-data-0 -n my-ns

```

It is working but not every request was traced - maybe only 10 percent.

Whats wrong ? Any idea.

Regards

Sebastian
