Hello
im trying to delete some records from my kvstore collection

when running this command (there are more keys i just didnt wanted it to be long) :

| inputlookup kv_alerts_prod 
| where ( ( _key="5f401a77cc0ddc039e76ade4" ) OR ( _key="5f401a77cc0ddc039e76ade5" ) OR ( _key="5f401a78cc0ddc039e76ade6" ) OR ( _key="5f401a78cc0ddc039e76ade7" ) OR ( _key="5f401a7bcc0ddc039e76ade8" ) OR ( _key="5f401a81cc0ddc039e76ade9" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adea" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adeb" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adec" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76aded" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adee" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adef" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adf0" ) OR ( _key="5f401a84cc0ddc039e76adf1" ) OR ( _key="5f401a85cc0ddc039e76adf2" ) 
| outputlookup kv_alerts_prod

  im getting this error :

KV Store output failed with err: Request exceeds API limits - see limits.conf for details. (Batch save size=105742989 too large)

 

my limits.conf file looks like this :

[kvstore]
max_size_per_result_mb = 100000
max_size_per_batch_result_mb = 1000000000
max_size_per_batch_save_mb = 10000000000

 

what can i do ?

Hi @sarit_s , the key for the limit you are seeing is max_queries_per_batch , can you add this key in the kvstore stanza with a value greater than the value for which you are seeing the error and see it that fixes?
