Hi all,

Since I've upraged ELK from 2.3.3 to 5.0.1, when I make a search request in Kibana, it is very low.

I try to figure out why.

In my elasticsearch configuration, I have these inputs:

```
thread_pool:
    search:
        size: 13
        queue_size: 12000

```

When I try to see some old visualization I get this warning (there is a connection ? ):

> Courier Fetch: 140 of 620 shards failed.

If you have any advice regarding this performance issue, please let me know.

Regards,  
Alex

Check your ES logs, it should state why the fetch faild.

That is not a good idea.

Glad you asked for clarification. 🕶

My experience so far is that tuning the configuration is a bit of a mystic art. I have not had much success trying to figure out how to improve the index performance ([ES5 Indexing performance (seems slow)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/es5-indexing-performance-seems-slow/65084)).

Threadpools are stored in memory, by dramatically increasing the size you risk OOM. Also 12K requests might take a while to process, what do your clients do in the meantime?
