Hi to all!
> I'm working on Elastic 5.4
I want to retrieve all mapping parameters (values for "index", "index\_options", "norms") currently defined for a mapped object, but i can't find the way...
Here is what I'm doing:
**1) I have defined a template**
```
curl -X PUT \
'http://localhost:9200/_template/transactions_index_template' \
-d '{
"template": "transactions_index*",
"mappings": {
"transaction": {
"_all": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"fieldA": {
"index_options": "docs",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"norms": false,
"type": "keyword"
},
"fieldB": {
"index_options": "docs",
"index": "no",
"norms": false,
"type": "keyword"
},
"fieldC": {
"index_options": "docs",
"index": "no",
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
}'
```
**2) Than, no matter what, i have completely defined an index**
```
curl -X PUT \
'http://localhost:9200/transactions_index_2018_06/' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"mappings": {
"transaction": {
"_all": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"fieldA": {
"index_options": "docs",
"index": "not_analyzed",
"norms": false,
"type": "keyword"
},
"fieldB": {
"index_options": "docs",
"index": "no",
"norms": false,
"type": "keyword"
},
"fieldC": {
"index_options": "docs",
"index": "no",
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
}'
```
**When i get pretty info of the created index, the response lacks of the values for "index", "index\_options", "norms"**
curl -X GET
'[http://localhost:9200/transactions\_index\_2018\_06/?pretty=](http://localhost:9200/transactions_index_2018_06/?pretty=)'
RETURNS:
```
{
"mappings": {
"transaction": {
"_all": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"fieldA": {
"type": "keyword"
},
"fieldB": {
"type": "keyword"
},
"fieldC": {
"index_options": "docs",
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
}
```
**_WHY? WHAT I HAVE TO DO?_**

No ideas?... maybe someone can tell me that this has no sense... it would be a starting point 🙂

If you want to retrieve all mapping options you need to use the field mapping API and set `include_defaults=true`:
`GET transactions_index_2018_06/_mapping/field/*?include_defaults=true`
See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-get-field-mapping.html#\_other\_options](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-get-field-mapping.html#_other_options)

Thank you so much... it works!
Previously i tried with defaults this way
> [http://localhost:9200/transactions\_index\_2018\_06/\_mapping/?include\_defaults=true&pretty](http://localhost:9200/transactions_index_2018_06/_mapping/?include_defaults=true&pretty)
having no success...
Unfortunately didn't find the "/field/\*" path parameter in my searches, but now, following your suggestion (as follows)
> [http://localhost:9200/transactions\_index\_2018\_06/\_mapping/field/\*?include\_defaults=true&pretty](http://localhost:9200/transactions_index_2018_06/_mapping/field/*?include_defaults=true&pretty)
i can retrieve all the information i need
Thank you again!
