It's in the limits.conf documentation. If you're only able to export 10000... just search the documentation for 10000.

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1/admin/Limitsconf

The answer is different depending upon your search. These are common limits that cause issues and their defaults:

[default]
maxresults= 10000

[search]
max_count = 10000

[stats|sistats]
maxresultrows = 50000

But you'll see many different limits for many different commands. Then you'll have to compare to the commands you use in your dashboard/report/whatever youre exporting.
