Hi,
If I select a time-range of greater than 7 days (Example: Set it to 15 days), I receive a request timeout in Kibana.
I have already increased the `elasticsearch.timeout` value to **10x** its original value.
```auto
elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 330000
```
Should I continue to increase this value? Are there any adverse effects of doing this?
Here is the output of the cluster stats api:

Hello @NerdSec,
It can be due to heap size also,
i faced the issue due to heap size .
Please check it
and Second reason can be due to large size of scripted fields.
Regards
Shrikant

Hi Shrikant,
I believe there is enough heap size. Is there a way that I can measure if this is enough?
```auto
"mem" : {
"heap_used" : "109.2gb",
"heap_used_in_bytes" : 117258404416,
"heap_max" : "246.9gb",
"heap_max_in_bytes" : 265207152640
},
```
Also, there are no scripted fields present.

Any other thoughts on this? Would really be a big help as we planned to use this stack for querying longer duration data set, but now it does not seem to work for that requirement.
