Hello,

I am trying to use the `saved_objects/export` api as documented here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-export.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-export.html). But I am hitting a 10,000 object limit: `"message": "Can't export more than 10000 objects"` and get a 400 response

Are there any workarounds for this hard limit?

ELK version 7.7.1.

Thank you.

Hi @chakragod,

I think you can get around this issue by increasing the limit by adding to `kibana.yml` the setting `savedObjects.maxImportExportSize` (default `10000`).

If you hit payload issues as well, you can try with the `savedObjects.maxImportPayloadBytes` option (default `10485760`)
