R Project: Is there an output file size limitation, and if yes, is there a way to change it?

Hi Everyone,

We recently installed the R app in order to do some analysis with R expressions. We ran into an issue were this search: index=main |r "output=dim(input)" only returns 50k records in the stats sheet, but there's 240k events. When I do: index=main| head 49999| r "output=dim(input)", it returns 49999 records in the stats sheet.

Does the R app only allow 50k records into the output file, and if so, is there a way to change it?

Thanks!

The setting is in the limits.conf. You have to find the correct method in which you are trying to display data (search, reports, stats, etc) and modify that setting
