I installed elastic 7.1 and I have everything working correctly as far as I can tell. I configure heartbeat with ICMP and tcp monitors that run every 5 seconds. When I try to use Uptime to view the status of my monitored hosts (22 icmp checks, + 21 tcp checks = 44 total monitored host) using the default 15 minutes window, I get the following error,

\ Error GraphQL error: [too\_many\_buckets\_exception] Trying to create too many buckets. Must be less than or equal to: [10000] but was [10001]. This limit can be set by changing the [search.max\_buckets] cluster level setting., with { max\_buckets=10000 } \

If I lower the limit to 10 minutes it still produces the same error, but if I go 9 minutes or less I get data.

What am I doing wrong?

I found the following discussion but on that blog the user was able to use the 15 mins window, now the 15 mins window is too large.
