Hi here, Thanks in advance for your time I was trying to use the new machine learning tool and it worked well for a first test fill Then, I've been trying with a fill much larger (header of 9 fields, 45120 lines of data) and the "Data analyzing load" never ended. So, I tried to split this fill with the first 15 000 lines and it worked fine but, after adding the next 1 000 lines, I've got the same behavior again ... So I tried to check if something was wrong between the line 15 000 and 16 000 but I'm able to load a file with the lines from 14 000 to 17 000 ... The only issue I can think about now is that my file is too large (?). Even if my fill is \< 100MB (2,9MB) Regards Guillaume ---

I've seen this "never ending" behavior when there were odd characters in the file (for example, DOS-like newline chars like ^M). I would look at the file closely in a text editor that can show you hidden symbols (such as using `:set list` in `vi`) and ensure there are no wacky symbols in there. Keep in mind that the `$` symbol for a newline in `vi` is okay. ---

Hi @richcollier, thanks a lot for your answer, I thought you had found my issue but after removing every single `^M` I've got the same result ... Using `:set list` in `vi`, I can confirm that all my lines look like aa;bb;cc;dd$ now Still able to import a file with my first 15 000 lines, cannot figure out what's wrong here Also tried with another test file looking like field1;field2;field3;field4;field5;field6;field7;field8;field9 for the header and 45 000 data lines like aaa;bbb;ccc;dddd;eeee;ffff;gggg;hhhh;iiii Same wrong behavior Regards ---

Hmmm... I'm not sure how we can help unless we had your problematic file (or an anonymized version of it) to reproduce the issue. Any way to provide? ---

Are you able/allowed to download my test file from my google drive here : [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s8Iz-kALilsBfayipATKSqlU9MwBKTwk](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s8Iz-kALilsBfayipATKSqlU9MwBKTwk) If not, how do you want me to share it with you ? ---

Thanks! Was able to download the file and it imported perfectly! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/4/64b9a40dd3006d795974d15ef515bf48db03ba5b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/2/62df772161eafb0fef693e58b6dbfd27b8848aec.png) ---

Feeling stupid ... Haha I've tried again but nothing changed Is there any configuration to modify / enable on the server. Any logs to verify ? Thanks for your time ---

Perhaps enabling developer mode/console on the browser to see where things might be getting stuck for you might be helpful ??) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/2/b2d9116256387175591c04f7cc72435522ab4c5b.png) Are you doing this locally (i.e. running ES/Kibana on your local machine) or is this on Elastic Cloud or is the destination system far away (network-wise?). Is there a possible proxy/firewall in place that is disallowing uploads of certain sizes? Just trying to think outside the box here.... ---

Thanks again for your very helpful answer As you suggested, I opened the network console of my browser and I've found the issue Nothing about Kibana but our network, I've got the 413 http status - Request Entity Too Large Issue closed ! Thanks for your help and time Regards Guillaume ---
