[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/mapping-index-field.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/mapping-index-field.html) shows how to query elasticsearch using  
"terms": {  
"field" : "\_index"  
}

but you can't select the "field" \_index in the kibana front end as a "Term" for the split slices.

My data has another filed I wish to split the pie-chart sections on, which I can do for one index or another, but I can't see how to make concentric rings for both at once

Unfortunately the field\_stats API which Kibana uses to get the list of aggregatable fields does not include information about the `_index` field... With [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/23007](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/23007) merged though we will be moving away from `field_stats` and the new API _does_ support the `_index` field, so this should be fixed soon! Track [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11014](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11014) for details
