I'm trying to collect network data and pushing to elastic store.  
Some of the documents are not indexed(not stored). Is this expected.

Without more information it's extremely hard to help.

Have a look at [https://www.elastic.co/help](https://www.elastic.co/help)

I'm interested to know if the write fails are expected to occur.

So you are checking the `_bulk` response payload and each document says ok?

I was testing it again to get exact errors so the delay

```auto
 { [Error: Request Timeout after 30000ms]
  status: 408,
  displayName: 'RequestTimeout',

```
