This issue should be resolvable by the `server.maxPayloadBytes` setting, like in this question: [Payload too large](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/payload-too-large/227858)

Can you elaborate on how exactly you set this setting in your case (how are you starting Kibana, how are you passing the setting in, what exact value did you set it to)?
