How to set the value of "total_fields" by using curl?

Hi Experts,

I'm parsing my source logs then meeting an issue such like this:

[2019-09-05T15:56:34,215][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>nil, :_index=>"lsh_nokia_nokiasbc-2019.09.05", :_type=>"_doc", :_routing=>nil}, #LogStash::Event:0x734643a0], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"lsh_nokia_nokiasbc-2019.09.05", "_type"=>"_doc", "_id"=>"XqRsAG0Bb-u0KskwxgGb", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"illegal_argument_exception", "reason"=>"Limit of total fields [1000] in index [lsh_nokia_nokiasbc-2019.09.05] has been exceeded"}}}}

I have search the similar issues that the solution point we need modify the value of total_fields.

I have also check the currently value of it from my elasticsearch index:

It is 1000 but i can't modify by using kibana GUI.

I have tried to use curl to execute elasticsearch console command to modify it, I execute a lot of methods which showed as below, but all of them are returned failed.
