Summary

Measures the total bytes received over the internal transport layer, tracking inbound cluster communication volume. This counter captures all inter-node data including search requests, bulk indexing, and cluster state updates. High receive rates combined with slow disk I/O may indicate data replication bottlenecks, while spikes during recovery operations reflect shard data transfer from other nodes.

Network Transport Saturationwarning

High network throughput or connection count on cluster transport layer indicates heavy inter-node communication that can saturate network bandwidth and cause coordination delays.

▸
Index Recovery Prolonged Durationwarning

Slow shard recovery after node failures or restarts delays cluster stabilization and can indicate network issues, disk I/O bottlenecks, or configuration problems.
