Hello,
Is there any way so that we don't see \_Source on Kibana discover page and instead we see message field?

You can find "message" in the "Available Fields" column on the left, and click "Add". This should hide the "\_source" field and only show the "message" field in the list of results.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for your reply. However I want message to be shown by default when I click on discover tab.

There's an Advanced Setting which defines \_source as the default column to display, so you can change that;
defaultColumns
Columns displayed by default in the Discovery tab

Hi Lee,
is that available in Kibana 4.0?
I couldn't find that. Can you direct me to that setting?

Hi Sunil,
No, I'm afraid that's a recent new feature.

Looks like it's only in 5.0 alpha1 and later.
Sorry for getting your hopes up. But I think it is just what you're looking for.
Regards,
Lee
