Hi @yzaritskyi, Welcome back. There is a 10MB limit by default for exporting from Kibana. It can be configured via the [`xpack.reporting.csv.maxSizeBytes`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-settings-kb.html#reporting-csv-settings) setting in kibana.yml for your cluster [as per this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reporting-generate-csv-maximum-limit/134692). But I would tread carefully there as it can impact performance if set too high. [This thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-it-possible-to-generate-or-export-a-csv-from-kibana-dev-tool/343027) gives a couple of options that you could try, including: 1. Writing a script using a language client and a CSV utility, such as Python. There is a [StackOverflow thread here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46682018/export-elasticsearch-results-into-a-csv-file) that shares that example. 2. Using Logstash with an [Elasticsearch filter processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-elasticsearch.html#plugins-filters-elasticsearch-query) and the [CSV output plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-csv.html). 3. Split your query into multiple to export the records across multiple CSV files. Let us know if any of those options work for you. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-kibana-data-exportaion-over-1b-hits/366402)._
