Hi,

I noticed the following error in Kibana logs for queries that are taking more than 2 minutes:

> {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2019-10-16T12:56:07Z","tags":["error","elasticsearch","data"],"pid":30353,"message":"Request error, retrying\nPOST [http://localhost:9200/\_msearch?rest\_total\_hits\_as\_int=true&ignore\_throttled=true](http://localhost:9200/_msearch?rest_total_hits_as_int=true&ignore_throttled=true) =\> **socket hang up**"}

I started to look for open issues on this, i found this [commit](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/40906) which should have addressed this issue  
Unfortunately, it was [reverted](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41837) here.

I wonder what is the current status, is there any plan to implement those parameters eventually?  
I kind of lost with all the issues around that

Thanks,

It has been re-added in Kibana v7.4.0 and above.

Thanks for the quick response

There is no plan to implement it in 6.x at all?  
Do you know if we can apply some workaround to overcome this issue?

Thanks,

Unfortunately there are no plans to implement in 6.x (there will be no more 6.x releases, and the only changes that may happen to 6.8 are major security vulnerabilities).
