@NourBM The query DSL you provided works fine for me. Here's the test case I'm using:

```auto
POST test/_doc
{
  "process": {
    "name": "java",
    "state": "sleeping"
  }
}

POST test/_search
{
  "_source": ["process.name", "process.state"]
}

```

Are you certain those fields have values for all of the documents you are getting back? If those fields are missing in any docs, that would be why you aren't seeing anything in `_source`.

You can test this by filtering out any docs that don't have a value for those fields:

```auto
POST test/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "exists": { "field": "process.name" }
        },
        {
          "exists": { "field": "process.state" }
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "_source": ["process.name", "process.state"]
}

```
