| Variable | MAX_INGEST_REQUEST_SIZE | |
| Introduced Version | 1.64 | |
| Description | Size limit of ingest requests after content-encoding has been applied | |
| Default | 1 GB | |
This variable is used to set the default size limit of ingest requests
after content-encoding has been applied. Alternatively, the default can be
applied via the dynamic configuration
MaxIngestRequestSize. The
recommendation is to set this size fairly low, such as 10 - 100 MB;
however, be aware that doing so may break existing integrations that rely
on ingesting very large payloads. Use the new request log field
decodedContentLength to find what
range of sizes to expect for existing clusters.
