Getting this error when I try and test some Grok/regex patterns.

It's intermittent; sometimes it throws, sometimes not.

Is this truly a license issue, or is something else at work?

Hi

What version of the stack are you using ? Please add more information like version, steps, screenshots, Kibana logs, whom are you logged in as etc, it would help us debug more.

Intermittent issues can be related to your network as well..

Thanks
