TASK doesn't support cancellation

Elastic Stack Kibana

Can help to enlighten why I cannot cancel this task

{
"completed" : false,
"task" : {
"node" : "Vzjnc-d2SuOZ07_6LCyl2A",
"id" : 4779394,
"type" : "transport",
"action" : "cluster:admin/xpack/monitoring/bulk",
"description" : "",
"start_time_in_millis" : 1589760017235,
"running_time_in_nanos" : 960362867263688,
"cancellable" : false,
"headers" : { }
}
}

{
"completed" : false,
"task" : {
"node" : "Vzjnc-d2SuOZ07_6LCyl2A",
"id" : 4779395,
"type" : "transport",
"action" : "indices:data/write/bulk",
"description" : "requests[1], indices[.monitoring-kibana-7-2020.05.18]",
"start_time_in_millis" : 1589760017237,
"running_time_in_nanos" : 960423096214079,
"cancellable" : false,
"headers" : { }
}
}

This system index (.monitoring-kibana-7-2020.05.18) is not exisiting, I can’t even delete

{
"node_failures" : [
{
"type" : "failed_node_exception",
"reason" : "Failed node [Z40kmKesSmOY-IMH-Duzkw]",
"node_id" : "Z40kmKesSmOY-IMH-Duzkw",
"caused_by" : {
"type" : "illegal_argument_exception",
"reason" : "task [Z40kmKesSmOY-IMH-Duzkw:486196425] doesn't support cancellation"
}
}
],
"nodes" : { }
}

Hi, it looks like this is a system task from the Elasticsearch Task Management API: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/tasks.html. The Elasticsearch Discuss category is the place for information / help on this.

It would also help to use code formatting for the JSON, and include any error messages / what you have started out trying to do.

Thanks!

I was trying to cancel through the _cancel API but didn't work.

Since this isn't a Kibana topic, the readers and team members here may not be able to give you the best help for this issue around the Elasticsearch API. Try asking over at https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elastic-stack/elasticsearch/6

Hope this helps,
-Tim
