Woah there!

That's a big URL you have there. I have some unfortunate news: Your browser doesn't play nice with Kibana's bacon-double-cheese-burger-with-extra-fries sized URL. To keep you from running into problems Kibana limits URLs in your browser to {{controller.limit}} characters for your safety.

Ok, how do I fix this?

This usually only happens with big, complex dashboards, so you have some options:

  1. Remove some stuff from your dashboard. This will reduce the length of the URL and keep IE in a good place.
  2. Don't use IE. Every other supported browser we know of doesn't have this limit.


Foot note: Party size candy bars are tiny. Party size sub sandwiches are massive. Really makes you think.
