What
Documents the new
IMPORT_MAX_FILE_SIZEenvironment variable in the Limits & Optimizations table on the Security & Limits configuration page.It caps the size of a file uploaded to the import endpoint (
POST /utils/import/:collection), returning413 Content Too Largewhen exceeded. Unset (no limit) by default, and separate fromFILES_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE.Why
The variable is introduced in the code PR below. Background imports are now spooled to disk before processing, so without a cap an unbounded upload could fill the disk. This documents the new knob operators can use to bound it.
