Connection time out to zookeepers

[gsterg]

I am experiencing the following after installing and configuring. When service starts up I am able to connect and configure the zookeeper instances. Every functionality and tab is available and working fine but only for a few minutes. After leaving the site up for some time and attempt to reconnect then it seems unresponsive. I get the following log entries when this behavior is ongoing.

[ERROR] - from org.apache.curator.ConnectionState in C
uratorFramework-0
Connection timed out for connection string (XX.XX.XX.XX:2181) and timeout (15000) / elapsed (40156)

If I kill the process and start it back it works again for minutes and then back to unresponsive.

Am I missing something configuration wise or maybe the current release is incompatible with kafka version 2.11-0.8.2.1?

Any feedback appreciated. Regards.
