Hi @Xenial. How are you ingesting your data into Elasticsearch. Changing the name of a field is not a simple task. For new indices, you want to specify a mapping and tell your ingest application (e.g. Filebeat, Logstash, etc) to write to that field.

See also [Update mapping API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html#rename-existing-field)
