Hello,  
I am seeing "timed out when collecting data" error from our warm nodes. Yes we are using hot-warm architecture.

Our Elasticsearch node descriptions are below.

suy-prd-opr-els-01 - client  
suy-prd-opr-els-02 - master (active)  
suy-prd-opr-els-03 - master  
suy-prd-opr-els-04 - hot  
suy-prd-opr-els-05 - hot  
suy-prd-opr-els-06 - hot  
suy-prd-opr-els-07 - warm  
suy-prd-opr-els-08 - warm  
suy-prd-opr-els-09 - warm

we are using Elasticsearch ver6.0, each nodes have x-pack (basic) for monitoring.

- Can anyone please explain why this error occurs?
- Is this related to index for monitoring? If so, no impact to normal indices?
- error shows "timed out when collecting data". what data is being collected? from where to where, for what task?

below error captured from suy-prd-opr-els-07 (warm node).
