Briefly, this error occurs when an Elasticsearch ingest pipeline is configured with an “on_failure” option, but no actions are defined for it. The “on_failure” option is used to specify what actions should be taken if an error occurs during processing. To resolve this issue, you can either remove the “on_failure” option if it’s not needed, or define at least one action for it. Actions could include logging the error, sending a notification, or attempting to process the data in a different way.
