Max buckets exceeded: 10080 of 2000 allowed. Choose a larger interval or a shorter time span,
i got this error while trying to visualize any time Timelion at a timespan greater then 24 hours.
I tried :
PUT python\_to\_kibana\_1/\_settings
{
"index.mapping.total\_fields.limit": 1000000
}
but that's no good.
ps: not using logstash

You will actually need to set the `timelion:max_buckets` setting in Kibana's advanced config to override this value, but know that this limitation is in place for a reason and 10000 buckets may crash Kibana
