```auto I am using graylog with mongodb and elasticsearch 6.8 on CentOS 7. Now I have received an error saying "Elasticsearch limits the search result to 10000 messages". How do I increase the index.max_result_window? I dont have Kibana installed and I couldnt find any CLI method in CentOS to increase this. Please help. ``` ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Try something like this, just replace the things you need to; ```auto curl -XPUT "http://HOST:9200/INDEX/_settings" -d '{ "index" : { "max_result_window" : NUMBER } }' ``` ---

> [@warkolm](#): > > `curl -XPUT "http://HOST:9200/INDEX/_settings" -d '{ "index" : { "max_result_window" : NUMBER } }'` Thanks Warkolm. But, once I applied the command, the following error appears. {"error":"Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported","status":406} ---

Ahh yes, you need to add `-H "Content-Type: application/json"` as well 🙂 ---

Thanks again Warkolm. I entered the following command. curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/INDEX/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/INDEX/_settings)" -d '{ "index" : { "max\_result\_window" : 800000 } }' -H "Content-Type: application/json" However, another 404 error appears as follows. {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"index\_not\_found\_exception","reason":"no such index","resource.type":"index\_or\_alias","resource.id":"INDEX","index\_uuid":"_na_","index":"INDEX"}],"type":"index\_not\_found\_exception","reason":"no such index","resource.type":"index\_or\_alias","resource.id":"INDEX","index\_uuid":"_na_","index":"INDEX"},"status":404} ---

Did you change `INDEX` for the index name you want to alter the setting for? ---

No I didn't create an index with the name "INDEX" for this max\_result\_window. If it is needed, may I know how to do that using CLI? ---

You need to replace the `INDEX` in the command with the actual index name you want this setting applied to. ---

After configuring the below, it worked. curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings)" -d '{ "index" : { "max\_result\_window" : 800000 } }' -H "Content-Type: application/json" . Thanks for the support given. ---

Hi Warkolm, Sorry for reopening the case again 🙂 . I need to reenter the following command daily otherwise it shows only 66 pages. How do I make this index value persistent? curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_all/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings)" -d '{ "index" : { "max\_result\_window" : 800000 } }' -H "Content-Type: application/json" ---

Look into index templates. ---

Ok I will Warkolm. I have another concern. I have created a user called “NOC” using Graylog GUI. When logged into Graylog from NOC user, I face the same issue of viewing pages after 66. How can I increase the index of this user using CentOS CLI? Thanks ---
