Load the Dashboards list when the saved object limit exceeds 1,000 #7948

Description

@florent-leborgne

Summary

The Dashboards listing page now clamps its request to the endpoint's 1,000-item maximum instead of failing when savedObjects:listingLimit is configured above 1,000. Users can still use the Search field and tag filters to locate dashboards outside the first 1,000 results.

Why this needs docs: The published Advanced Settings reference says savedObjects:listingLimit controls saved-object lists and can be set as high as 10,000, which is misleading for the Dashboard list's 1,000-item cap.

Kibana advanced settings > savedObjects:listingLimit

  • What the docs say: The number of objects to fetch for lists of saved objects. Do not set above 10000.
  • What to add: Preserve the general 10,000 guidance, but add a version-scoped note that Dashboard listings fetch at most 1,000 items even when this setting is higher, and direct users to Search and tag filters to find additional dashboards. The same 1,000-item Dashboard limit applies in serverless, where this setting is unavailable. Applies from 9.5.1 and in serverless.
