I am trying to visualize various timelion matrics in kibana dashboard. It works perfect when I give time period upto 36 hours. but when I give larger time period(e.g. 5 days, 1 week), it throws an Authorization Exception. Please see the attachment for your reference ![Screen Shot 2020-08-02 at 2.59.36 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/d/bd05af958ce268167218d995609bb5e18357788b.png) Please help me figure out this error. ---

Hi Nisarg. I don't have enough information to help. Can you share your Timelion expression? Maybe you need to specify the `index` in your expression. ---
