I am new to Kibana and I've tried googling for this issue I am facing where the result of watcher reports that there were \>10 hits however it only returns only 10 and from my research so far it looks like 10 is the default limit?  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/\_the\_search\_api.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/_the_search_api.html)

- hits.hits – actual array of search results (defaults to first 10 documents)

My question is there a way to increase this limit and if so how?

Thanks,  
Nasir

You can use size. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/search-request-from-size.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/search-request-from-size.html)
