You're trying to show all the fields in an index in Kibana, or you're just trying to query Elasticsearch and get that information (possibly outside of Kibana)? ---

In kibana, you can get the mapping of indices or types. Example :- GET index/type/\_mapping This will show you all the properties of the type. ---
