Temporary bulk send failure

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have installed ES in indexing data from different nodes running topbeat and packetbeat and it was running fine before. However, when I look at the node which sends data to the ES server, it shows Temporary bulk send failure. I have used curator to delete some past indexes, but this problems still occurs. I would like to know what is the causes and solutions for it??

Great thanks for any help.
