This link: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/dynamic-mapping.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/dynamic-mapping.html) says that dynamic mapping is enabled by default. It also explains how to change this behaviour on an index or on just a specific object. What do your index options look like? Is dynamic set to true?

According to this link [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36866957/how-to-create-kibana-index-in-elasticsearch](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36866957/how-to-create-kibana-index-in-elasticsearch) you only need to create your kibana index manually and with dynamic set to true if you set index.mapper.dynamic false previously
