Thank you for your respond!

I have set `elasticsearch.requestTimeout` and `elasticsearch.shardTimeout` to `90000` and the result is successful to show all visualizations from 2 months ago 😁

Futhermore I'm trying to show all visualizations from 3 months ago and the result is `[esaggs] > JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data` again, even though I have set `elasticsearch.requestTimeout` and `elasticsearch.shardTimeout` to `300000` 😔

Is this my server limits due to its specification?  
Is there a way to turn off the timeout feature and make kibana wait for all visualizations process finish? I don't mind if the visualization process take half an hour or more..
