All log content is the same information

`retrying failed action with response code: 429 ({"type"=>"es_rejected_execution_exception", "reason"=>"rejected execution of org.elasticsearch.transport.TransportService$7@3513cf82 on EsThreadPoolExecutor[name = node1/bulk, queue capacity = 200, org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.EsThreadPoolExecutor@2fb6bdcb[Running, pool size = 8, active threads = 8, queued tasks = 200, completed tasks = 73229]]"})`
