Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to fetch the configuration details for a specific data transform identified by ‘transformId’. This could be due to the transform not existing, incorrect permissions, or network issues. To resolve this, ensure the transform exists and the ID is correct. Check the user has the necessary permissions to access the transform. Also, verify the network connectivity between the Elasticsearch nodes.
