I have a control visualization , where i can't seem to find a filename that was processed . i can only see one of the files (two log files were ingested) . These are very large files and contain huge lines of information

upon some google search , i found directions to increase kibana.autocompleteTimeout kibana.yml . However mine doesn't seem to have it , does it need to be added manually ?

```auto
root@dev-eng05:/etc/logstash/conf.d# grep -i time /etc/kibana/kibana.yml
# Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch to respond to pings. Defaults to the value of
# the elasticsearch.requestTimeout setting.
#elasticsearch.pingTimeout: 1500
# Time in milliseconds to wait for responses from the back end or Elasticsearch. This value
#elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 30000
# Time in milliseconds for Elasticsearch to wait for responses from shards. Set to 0 to disable.
#elasticsearch.shardTimeout: 30000
# Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch at Kibana startup before retrying.
#elasticsearch.startupTimeout: 5000

```

Hi @Shreesh_Narayanan,

yes, you can add this setting manually, and Kibana will respect it. The `kibana.yml` file that ships with Kibana doesn't include all available options, but anything [documented here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html) is valid for your `kibana.yml` file.
