Hi All,  
Good evening, it has been long time since I got an opportunity to use Elasticsearch, now I am trying to propose Elastic Search to (a) visualize the data (b) and providing options to download the visualized data source.  
Ie I have data on SQL and CSV format, which covers around 5 years of data. This data we are trying to visualize (for sure Elasticsearch can do it) and option for selecting the span of time interval and downloading the same  
\*\*

> We are not sure if using Elasticsearch, we can give end users and interface for selecting the data and downloading the selected data.

\*\*  
Guidance requested to know if such download functionality is available with Elasticsearch  
Thanks  
Joseph John

You can use [Kibana reporting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-getting-started.html) to export saved searches as csv. You can set `xpack.reporting.csv.maxSizeBytes` to increase the CSV size, but the [value should not exceed 10MB](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reporting-csv-export-reached-the-max-size-and-contains-partial-data/116626/5)
