Hi, I am using Kibana 6.6.0. In that, I am trying to create controls based on the distinct possible values of a particular filed. Now, all the distinct possible values are not shown in the controls. I have also created a table in my dashboard to populate the count of all the distinct possible values of that filed. Strange thing is that, I am getting all the possible values in that table, but not in the controls. (For example, I am getting 15 distinct possible values in the table, but in controls, it is showing only 5 values). I have also checked the network tab to check the total number of hits. It is not limited to any value (as mentioned in this issue [Controls do not show all possible values](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/controls-do-not-show-all-possible-values/158943/4)) and populates all the docs. So what could be the reason behind this? This issue is creating a lot of problems in visualization and needs to be resolved at earliest. Thank You ! ---

Hi @pulkit007 -- Have you tried increasing the `size` on the control to be greater than 5? ![Screen Shot 2020-07-24 at 3.26.09 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/8/5834bf65bfb42bde37ccee0c5ba4397410a47f18.png) ---

I was using Dynamic Options enabled. I disabled it and changed size to 500. Still there is inconsistency. I am getting 15 distinct possible values in the table but only 8 in pod controls. ---

It **depends on the number of documents** that you have in your index. The controls visualization set the option **terminate\_after** to request Elasticsearch. This option ( **100000** by default) **limits the number of search** hits per shard. So, it's possible that these 100000 documents don't contain all your values. You have **two solutions** to get all your values : - change this value directly in the Kibana code - migrate to Kibana 7.X that allow you to change this value by setting the parameter kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter in the configuration file ---
