Hello all, I am trying to understand the ideal timeout setting to be configured for data exports from Elastic. Currently, the limit is set to 240 seconds, and is timing out when extracting 128,035 records from Elastic. Based on the article below, I understand increasing the **xpack.reporting.queue.timeout** may help. Just wanted to check with this group if anyone knew an ideal timing limit [Kibana : Not able to generate large reports - Elastic Stack / Kibana - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-not-able-to-generate-large-reports/318145) ---

Hi @harryDHL, It looks like you are using the default. You could potentially set is slightly higher if you wish. Rather than trying to guess an ideal time limit, can you give a rough indication of the export volume you are trying to extract? In some situations it may make more sense to use Logstash or scripting instead. Let us know! ---

Hi Carly, Thank you for your feedback. Can you please advise where I can check the volume of an export from Elastic? Regards, Harrison ---

Hello @harryDHL Could you please share how you are trying to export the data from Elastic? If you are doing from Kibana we can see the count of export as below : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/9/894e30083da93d1af29482ca22f28819542c145a.png) If you want to do it via CURL : `GET _cat/indices?v&h=docs.count,pri,index` ```auto docs.count pri index 0 1 .internal.alerts-transform.health.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-observability.logs.alerts-default-000001 2 1 test 0 1 .internal.alerts-observability.uptime.alerts-default-000001 14074 1 .ds-kibana_sample_data_logs-2025.07.02-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-ml.anomaly-detection.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-observability.slo.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-default.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-observability.apm.alerts-default-000001 13014 1 kibana_sample_data_flights 0 1 metrics-endpoint.metadata_current_default 0 1 .internal.alerts-observability.metrics.alerts-default-000001 5 1 fruits 4675 1 kibana_sample_data_ecommerce 1 1 kibana_sample_automation 0 1 .internal.alerts-ml.anomaly-detection-health.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-observability.threshold.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-security.alerts-default-000001 0 1 .internal.alerts-stack.alerts-default-000001 ``` `curl -s localhost:9200/_stats -u elastic:password | jq '.indices | map_values(.primaries.docs.count) | add'` **31771** `curl -s -u elastic:password localhost:9200/_cat/indices?h=docs.count,pri | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'` **31771** Maybe you can add the list of indices for which export is taken if it needs to be filter further. Thanks!!
