Hi all, I have 57.000 documents in a 1 index (1 shard and 1 replicas). total size of index is 1.2 gb but my logs are so long i mean 1 document has 120 -150 k characters or more. my elasticsearch is using 8gb of ram and 100mbps net on my elasticsearch server i need some help about querying. 1 ) my search time is 100ms but kibana resonds in 30000 ms etc. why ? 2 ) i am trying to get logs from url like `http://192.xxx.xx.xx:9200/sql_test/_search?q=response:"OK"` but page is loading on too much time. 3 ) if i try to get 10000 documents it gives me error like your documents are bigger than 2 gb. how can i get documents bigger than 2 gb ? Specially on kibana ? Please help me i am stuck. 🙂 ---

Hi, this will be a limitation due to how Kibana works. Huge documents are not really supported that well in Kibana. The only way that I see that you can work with them is via queries to Elasticsearch, without an UI. ---

You can use `source filters`, under index-pattern management, to exclude large fields from the response. That will significantly speed up responses since large amounts of data will be excluded from Elasticsearch \_search responses. For SQL statements, only request columns that are needed and avoid requesting columns with large field sizes. ![26%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/e/deac9788d2b569b087098aac19ba06339ba3ceac.png) ---
