Hi,  
I have created a dashboard with different visualizations in which i have taken a data table where i am showing top 500 fields so here while refreshing the dashboard many times i am getting the error as response timeout and the dashboard is not refreshed. What changes i can do to resolve this response timeout issue and refresh the dashboard easily?

You can try setting a larger value for `elasticsearch.requestTimeout` in your kibana.yml file. However, you might also want to look at your elasticsearch configuration to see if there isn't some improvement to be made there so the query returns faster.

I'm thinking this is also likely an issue with one slow query bogging down the entire dashboard. We have an issue to track dashboard performance improvements here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/14750](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/14750) if you want to follow along.
