What is the impact if we increase max buckets value

Hi,

i just wanna know what is the impact on elastic if i increase max buckets value to a higher number. our grafana getting an error "unkown elastic error" and what we found is grafana require buckets more than the default setting of max buckets on Elasticsearch. FYI, max bucket configuration on our cluster is still default (65536) so we want to increase the value of max buckets on our cluster but before that, anyone knows? what is the impact to elastic if we increase the value of this parameter?

Thank you

More buckets means more calculations to be done. If you aren't seeing high response times with the default, try increasing it and see what the response times are like.
