Hi guys,

I got the following error if I try to create an index pattern:

Index size about 2.2GB  
approximately 3500 fields per document

Has anyone an idea? THANKS

Hi, @Josef_Fritzer!

What version are you on? The default total fields limit is 1000. See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html#mapping-limit-settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping.html#mapping-limit-settings)

Also, it would be helpful to see what the request looks like using your browser's debugger.

Hi @alisongoryachev,

the version is 7.3.2, I have increased the index field limit to 6000. Everything works fine on 6.6.0, there was no problem creating the pattern even with a much larger index.

Which of the requests do you wanna see:

SOLVED [Kibana 5.1.2/ES 5.1.2 - Index patterns with more than 1000 fields](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-5-1-2-es-5-1-2-index-patterns-with-more-than-1000-fields/72567) the problem was in my case the reindexing from my 6.6.0 index to my new 7.3.2 one. I solved the problem by adding a single document(from the old index) to the new index before starting the reindex process. That's it 😊😇
