224+ Setting `xpack.reporting.csv.maxSizeBytes` much larger than the default 10 MB limit has the potential to negatively affect the
225+ performance of {kib} and your {es} cluster. There is no enforced maximum for this setting, but a reasonable maximum value depends
226+ on multiple factors:
227+
228+ * The `http.max_content_length` setting in {es}.
229+ * Network proxies, which are often configured by default to block large requests with a 413 error.
230+ * The amount of memory available to the {kib} server, which limits the size of CSV data that must be held temporarily.
