is there a way to adjust the column width in a discover report? Just to understand, what is the current logic by which the column width is being determined in the discover report..? Some of the fields with larger lengths of data are getting wrapped quite inconsistently. Thanks..

I dont know what Kibana version you are using but you could disbable` Document Explorer or Classic view`. I dont know which version this was introduced.

By setting `doc_table:legacy` to off in `Advanced Settings` in Kibana or in `Discover` click on `Options` and I believe there is a link to the configuration.

This could solve your problem.

Thank you.. in particular on the Options tab in Discover, which setting would lead us to increasing column width? The description wasn't clear to indicate any of this. Thanks..

If you set `doc_table:legacy` to `Off` reload discover and add some fields then you will be able to adjust the column width.
