I was just wondering, is it possible to view all the documents in Discover-Kibana because now I can only view the first 500 documents. Thanks.

Under the Settings tab ... Advanced , theres a "discover:sampleSize" that you can change. So, I guess if you know your dataset is never going t obe bigger than X , you can set the limit to that.
