My Elastic Stack environment:

```
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo)
# rpm -q elasticsearch kibana metricbeat
elasticsearch-6.1.0-1.noarch
kibana-6.1.0-1.x86_64
metricbeat-6.1.0-1.x86_64
# 

```

I open `[Metricbeat MySQL] Overview` Dashboard and as soon as I change `Time Range` to be anything over `Last 24 hours`, I get red error line on top of my Kibana with following message:

> Timelion: Error: Max buckets exceeded: 10080 of 2000 allowed. Choose a larger interval or a shorter time span

Please advise.

I've found following in `Kibana` -\> `Management` -\> `Advanced Settings` -\> `timelion:max_buckets` (default 200) and I increased it to `20000`, Dashboard seems to be working now.
