Hi Team,

We use Elasticsearch 7.9.1 & Kibana 7.3.2 version in our product. While Kibana dashboard loading, there is a variable **"timeout":"30000ms"** in the "Request payload" of \_msearch queries.  
We tried to change this value by setting **kibanacfg.elasticsearch.requestTimeout=60000** in kibana.yml configuration. But still the timeout value is displaying as "30000ms" in \_msearch queries. Refer image attached.

 ![msearch_query](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/8/489180d05ba0650c70c144730d28f65dfd13c5b2.png)

Are we missing anything? How can we change the default timeout value in \_msearch query?

Thanks,  
Hari MG

@mgharikrishnan

Can you share your kibana.yml file? The config change sounds correct although its unclear to me what `kibanacfg` is.

Hi mattkime,

Thanks for your reply. Please find the content of our kibana.yml file,

elasticsearch.hosts: [http://localhost:18089](http://localhost:18089)  
elasticsearch.password: test123  
elasticsearch.username: hello  
elasticsearch.requestTimeout=60000  
logging.quiet: true  
pid.file: \<Install\_dir\>/kibana.pid  
server.host: 0.0.0.0

@mgharikrishnan

I noticed you used an `=` sign where there should be `: ` - a space might help too.

try this - `elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 60000`
