## Summary Limits the lists to 9 megs upload size so we don't blow up smaller Kibana installs. Users can change/override this using the switch of `xpack.lists.maxImportPayloadBytes` like so: ``` xpack.lists.maxImportPayloadBytes: 40000000 ``` That will increase the amount of bytes that can pushed through REST endpoints from 9 megs to something like 40 megs if the end users want to increase the size of their lists and have enough memory in Kibana. Metrics and suggestions from testing looks like: ```ts Kibana with 1 gig of memory can upload ~10 megs of a list before possible out of memory issue Kibana with 2 gig of memory can upload ~20 megs of a list before possible out of memory issue ``` Things can vary depending on the speed of the uploads of the lists where faster connections to Kibana but slower connections from Kibana to Elastic Search can influence the numbers. ### Checklist - [x] [Unit or functional tests](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#cross-browser-compatibility) were updated or added to match the most common scenarios |

Getting Started
If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.
If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.
Using a Kibana Release
If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.md.
- Learn more about our UI code with UI_SYSTEMS.md.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
| Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versions are the same. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.2 | 💚 OK |
| ES patch number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.5 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.5.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES major number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 6.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES patch number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES major number is older. | 5.1.2 | 4.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
