Fix ElasticsearchTimeoutException
in ELK Stack
✅ Solution
ElasticsearchTimeoutException often arises from overloaded Elasticsearch clusters or insufficient resources, causing operations like snapshotting to exceed default timeout limits. To resolve this, increase the relevant timeout settings in `elasticsearch.yml` (e.g., `cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.flood_stage`, `indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec`, or snapshot-related settings) or temporarily reduce load on the cluster by postponing computationally intensive tasks. Also, monitor resource usage to identify persistent bottlenecks and consider scaling up the cluster if necessary.
