HI,

I am facing this error in logstash pods which are using `opensearchproject/logstash-oss-with-opensearch-output-plugin:latest` image. I am not sure how to set the content length of the request.

```auto
Encountered a retryable error (will retry with exponential backoff) {:code=>413, :url=>"/_bulk", :content_length=>1212377}

```

Thanks for all the help !
