Hello it seems we keep running into a timeout after trying to look back at a days work of data. It works fine 12 hours or less. Once i try to query 24hrs or more , i get a time out in Kibana. I am using Kibana 6.1.1 . the data set we are looking at is roughly 100gb. ---

You could consider upping the default value of elasticsearch.requestTimeout from 30000 milliseconds in your kibana.yml. This might allow you use a larger window. Are you using scripted fields? This might be the cause of things taking so long. ---

is there a recommendation to change the value to, as I dont want to over do it since this then can not time out when there is an actual issue? I am not using scripted fields.. ---

I would maybe try doubling it to 60000 and see if it helps. I would not recommend going above 2 minutes (120000). ---

What is the size of your cluster? What hardware are you using? How many visualisations do you have on the dashboard that is timing out? What type of visualisation? ---

we have 12 ES nodes 4 LS nodes and 1 kibana Node. ES has 40 cores, 250 gb ram ---

Sounds odd. What is the load on the cluster? What does CPU usage, disk I/O and iowait look like? ---

its all low, 2% CPU load is ~1.03 ---

Anything in the Elasticsearch logs, e.g. long or frequent GC? ---

i havent touched GC that already comes with ES. So i would assume that is not an issue? Logs are clear of anything else. ---
