when I launch the elasticsearch.bat, I check the port 9200 and it works well. Then I launch the kibana.bat, it meets error as following: * * * log [10:15:41.497] [warning][stats-collection] Unable to fetch data from rollups collector error [10:15:41.501] [warning][stats-collection] [query\_phase\_execution\_exception] Result window is too large, from + size must be less than or equal to: [128] but was [10000].

Hello @Lin_Zhu Did you try setting a larger value for index.max\_result\_window in config/kibana.yml ? Increasing this value may have other side effects but it would be good to confirm that this is the extent of the problem. ---

Thank you!! I tried but I didn't find that variable in the kibana.yml, so I tried to modify it in the command line, but the command “-XPUT” can't work. (I just want to constrain the number of return documents, I think it's a simple operation, but it seems troublesome, maybe because I didn't get the mechanism of it. If you know how to do it, maybe you can tell me, thanks a lot:) ) ![tempsnip](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/5/f52a6b86802779a0924712252ff6972dc4b86668.png) ---
