Hi

We are using elk version 7.10.2. We have created a control visualisation in kibana UI. We noticed that when we selected the options list and after adding the fields it gives the below warning "Terms list might be incomplete because the request is taking too long. Adjust the autocomplete settings in kibana.yml for complete results".

Could you please let us know how to resolve that warning even after increasing the below parameters the warning remains the same  
kibana.autocompleteTimeout to 3000 &  
kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter to 500000

thanks

Can you try setting `autocompleteTerminateAfter` to the number of documents in your index?  
`kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter` specifies the max number of documents loaded by each shard. If you only have one shard, this should equal to the number of documents in your index.
