Filter does not show all options in Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hello!

I added a date filter on my dashboard to be able to filter information by the specific day

It contains so far 410 days

My problem is that if I click the filter it shows only 177 options available:

Also, you may notice that I picked ordering by date but some of days appeared to be dropped among my options

However, if I scroll down this list of options, there will be "Loading more options..." message and, after a moment, all 410 options become available and missing days are also present

Elastic and Kibana version is 8.17.1 deployed in Openshift cluster via ECK

Any ideas on this behavior?

Thank you!

I noticed that the issue is reproduced only if some static filters are added. Without them all options are available without scrolling:

Is it something expected?:thinking:

Hello,

I have few queries :

  1. You have total 410 records which is expected when you are filtering?
  2. When you use static filters initially it shows 177 records but after sometime it shows 410 records? it shows without any action ?
  3. If no static filters are used it shows 410 records at the beginning itself without any delay?

Could you please confirm if this understanding is correct?

If the options are loaded after a delay can we see the count of records against the date example 26-02-2025 which is loaded after a delay to understand why it is taking time initially? I believe it has to do something with the query executing in the backend when all the filters are applied which might be taking time. I am not sure & have not seen this issue but will like more insights to understand what could be causing this.

Thanks!!

Hello,

Thank you for the reaction

  1. Correct
  2. Yes to the first question. No to the second question: they appear if and only if I scroll down the list of these 177 options. While scrolling the message in the list "Loading more options..." and after a moment all 410 appear
  3. Correct

If the options are loaded after a delay can we see the count of records against the date example 26-02-2025 which is loaded after a delay to understand why it is taking time initially?

When no status filters are used, they are loaded without any delay

I have tried reproducing it on a test env but have had no luck. I will try to collect more information from the affected Elastic instance and add this info here next week

Thank you, @Tortoise!

Okay, the issue does not reproduce on the newly created dashboard. Though, if I clone the existing dashboard the issue remains

The affected dashboard was exported from Kibana 8.5.1. Maybe it is the root cause somehow
