Changing server.maxPayloadBytes on AWS Elasticsearch Service

So I have a ES cluster hosted through AWS where documnets are mostly of dynamic JSON without fixed mapping.

When I try to the do the "Create index pattern" on Kibana, it errors out with:

Error Payload content length greater than maximum allowed: 1048576

So I need to either increase server.maxPayloadBytes on kibana.yml (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html)

or figure out another way.

To increase server.maxPayloadBytes on kibana.yml, I have to edit it directly but not sure how to do that. I have VPC endpoint for the cluster but I couldn't ssh into it.

I am running

Elasticsearch version: 6.3
Solution

  • Talked to DevOps, apprently changing server.maxPayloadBytes on AWS Elasticsearch Service is not possible since AWS (as of now) does not allow it
