Hey guys, I would like to sort out one issue I have. I get max payload error while trying to refresh index pattern in Kibana. Of course I have already increased server.maxPayloadBytes: value in kibana config file, but maybe it is possible to list messages by payload value so developers could optimize logging? ---

May be if you enable the \_size using the mapper size plugin in elasticsearch you can more insights on the size of each event > **[Using the \_size field | Elasticsearch Plugins and Integrations \[master\] |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/mapper-size-usage.html)** > **[Mapper Size Plugin | Elasticsearch Plugins and Integrations \[master\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/master/mapper-size.html)** ---
