Fix InvocationTargetException
in ELK Stack
✅ Solution
InvocationTargetException often wraps an actual exception thrown within a method invoked via reflection. Fix it by examining the underlying cause using the stack trace to identify the real exception, then address that specific issue like a NullPointerException or IllegalArgumentException related to argument types or object states during the reflective call.
