When I delete a lot of indices in kibana，about 20 Indies.And I got a lot stats api timeout error. And,I never use the api[Cluster Stats，Nodes Stats，Index Stats].But I have enabled stack monitoring in kibana. I create index by day.My Es Cluster have five nodes,Three mater,four data node.About 1TB data.And about 200 indices.And I use NAS disk. Sometimes I will delete some indices.And then I will do a log delete commond in Dev-Tools.Every Indies just have about ten documents.It is a lot small indices。 After I do some Delete commond.The Elasticsearch will have a lot timeout error.And then ES cluster will become slowly in search in sometimes.I just worried about it. I never use the api[Cluster Stats，Nodes Stats，Index Stats] in my coding.Does it coused by stack monitoring ,who can help me? Delete commond,Such as. (1)DELETE log\_api\_projects\_20191110,log\_api\_projects\_260191111,log\_api\_projects\_20191112,log\_api\_projects\_20191113,log\_api\_projects\_20191114,log\_api\_projects\_20191115,log\_api\_projects\_2019116,log\_api\_projects\_20191117 (2)DELETE log\_api\_projects\_20191100,log\_api\_projects\_260191011,log\_api\_projects\_20191012,log\_api\_projects\_20191013,log\_api\_projects\_20191014,log\_api\_projects\_20191015,log\_api\_projects\_2019016,log\_api\_projects\_20191017 (3).... ---

What is the output of: ```auto GET / GET /_cat/nodes?v GET /_cat/health?v GET /_cat/indices?v ``` If some outputs are too big, please share them on [gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com) and link them here. ---

And now.The cluster health is gree and always is green;Every indices just have one primary shard.And there is no indices is larger than 30GB. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/1/a15450e9d3c82012d7010f61caedf764410ba38e.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/5/b5138284fb6483d7c362c4fdaae46196d2352a7d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/4/d4cd19a97d5d19b1024363f7cb4e71565a9454ec.jpeg) ---

Please do not post images of the screen as they are hard to read and impossible to search. Instead run the commands David listed and provide the output in a formatted form. ---
