Setting `enabled: false` on a field in your mapping will prevent that field from being indexed by Elasticsearch, but it's still stored in the `_source` field if it's included in the documents sent to Elasticsearch, and it looks like that `_source` is what's used by the Kibana Discover tab. If you want to keep those fields out of the `_source` entirely, you could remove them at ingest time using an [ingest pipeline](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/ingest.html), specifically using the [remove processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.6/remove-processor.html). If you want those fields to be stored, but not displayed in the Discover tab in Kibana, I'm not sure if there's a way to do that - it would be best to ask in [the Kibana category](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/kibana) on these forums. ---
