Kibana is very slow for analyzing larger timeframes

[rmeissner]

What is the problem?

When selecting larger time frames (>1 week) in Kibana often the interface loads for a very long time and might even result in an error. This makes it very hard to analyze past events and outages.

Why is it relevant?

This makes it very hard to analyze past events and outages.

Many issues repeat on weekly base and it is important to debug patterns and look into past logs to debug issues. This will enable the services team to improve the stability of the service and react better to reported issues.

How can we track the problem? (What is the KPI?)

• Error rates
