How to handle truncation error in Splunk SDK?

Hi Pals,

Thank you for viewing my question.

I am retrieving my data through C# and Splunk SDK. But while extracting the results, I am facing the below truncation issue:
"Command mvexpand output will be truncated at XXXXX results due to excessive memory usage.......... max_mem_usage_mb has been reached".
I have added all the required filter before MVEXPAND but then too no luck, So below is my question:
1. Currently, I am slicing the timestamp to minutes and extracting the results. But is there any finer way which Splunk recommend?
2. Can the output of Splunk SDK be JSON? If yes, then doing so can have better results?
