Kibana "Discover" tab search result shows correct result while the Dashboard is not


I am running into a weird issue, I have a lot of data in ES and Kibana displays it perfectly. I have a couple of visualization which include bar-chart & pie-chart, the problem is when i click on a bar-graph of a particular object i get only a limited result but when i search for the object on the "Discover" tab i can see all the result.

The dashboard basically consists of searches which were saved earlier, so why is the behaviour occurring ?

Can someone help me on this or point me why/how is this happening ?


Solution

  • Visualizations are mostly aggregations under the hood and the latter are usually limited to the top 10 results.

    On the other hand, the Discover tab shows the actual records/documents stored in ES, which is why you can see many more results, usually capped at 500 by default.
