Fix IllegalStateException

in ELK Stack

Solution

IllegalStateException in Elasticsearch typically arises from attempting to perform an operation on an object that is not in the appropriate state, such as trying to read from a closed stream or accessing a search context that is no longer valid (e.g., post Point-In-Time expiration). To resolve this, ensure resources are properly initialized and managed (e.g., manage PIT lifecycles explicitly), and add robust error handling with appropriate logging around resource-intensive operations, especially those involving time-sensitive Elasticsearch contexts. For PIT-related issues ensure the PIT ID is valid and still accessible at the time of the request, retrying with a fresh PIT if necessary.
