Hi, I'm using Kibana and ElasticSearch, doing a script to check the time that takes to make the query fetch the data for example to the discover page, and each time I refresh the page with in 1 year, the response times are changing in both browser and the script. But the indices are not changing. There is a reason for that time changes? Thanks ---

How are they changing? Could it be related to caching kicking in? ---

Having the same number of indices response time of the query I've seen changes up to 3 seconds difference between each call when I press refresh for example. ---

If I understood you correctly your query time changes when you go from lets say 1 Week to 1 Year? If thats your question this is completely normal because you will have to fetch more data. Lets say 1 Week contains 1000 Documents, than 1 Year contains 52x more documents. So it will need longer to get all these documents out of the index. ---

No, sorry I didn't explain well. For the same time range and the same number of indices everytime I got time changes between them, normally is not much some miliseconds but sometimes the time changes up to 3 or 4 seconds. ---

Maybe you could check if the cluster is doing something else at the time you send the query. Is it a problem that the data takes 3sec longer to load? ---

Actually is not, but I was wondering why it could be happening. The cluster is not doing anything special at the query time. ---
