Hi @zizou, Can you try disabling truncation in Kibana's Advanced Settings, and see if that helps? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/8/28f8d168c689a1a9f6d9a2d1245b3fd445071d9e.png) ---

Can you show me what you're trying to accomplish? I tested a data table with a message that's almost 6000 characters long, and it didn't truncate the message on me: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/2/b29ac93991b74807cc0ad400a6a19287edd14894.png) ---

You are running a terms aggregation on the `message.keyword` field, and keywords by default will ignore entries greater than 1024 characters. If you view the index mapping for your index, it should be spelled out there. You could use the "top hit" metric to display long messages instead. Something like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/c/7c4a546da4fd7f787c47418a0d5cc35f90f72fb4.png) ---

Thanks @Larry_Gregory I use 'Top hits' and now it works fine ---
