Ultimately the thing crashing here is the APM agent (elastic-apm-node). The Client “request” event being used by the APM agent has .meta.request.params set to null despite https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-js/blob/master/lib/Transport.d.ts#L75

https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-nodejs/pull/2188 changes the APM agent to be more defensive here. Once we have a release of that, that will fix or workaround the crash here. I’ll leave it up to @delvedor on whether to pursue the .meta.request.params being unset thing.

@simllll elastic-apm-node@3.20.0 is published now. If you are able to upgrade to that, the crash should go away. Thanks for the bug report.
