Hey @Sidharth_Bhandari,

I moved your topic over to Elasticsearch as I don't believe it's related to Kibana. Someone knowledgeable about Elasticsearch should be able to help you.

In the meantime, I recommend taking a look at this previous topic: [What does this error mean - Data too large, data for [\<transport\_request\>] - #4 by HenningAndersen](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/what-does-this-error-mean-data-too-large-data-for-transport-request/209345/4)

Hi @Sidharth_Bhandari ,

A few initial questions to help us diagnose:

1. Which version of Elasticsearch are you running?
2. Are you using the bundled jvm (and if not, which one are you using)?
3. Which GC do you use and if it is G1, what are your G1 GC settings?
