Summary

Counts messages transmitted over Elasticsearch's internal transport layer between nodes. This tracks cluster coordination traffic, shard operations, and node-to-node communication. High transmission rates during normal operations may indicate excessive scatter-gather queries, over-sharding, or replication overhead. Network partition events show as sudden drops in transmission counts.

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.
