Hello !

I have seen that in kibana you can consult statistics of an index. Can this metadata be consulted as one more field and viewed on a dashboard?

but it only returns empty fields.

Thanks in advanced!

No, I don't this is possible.

I assume you are trying to replicate existing monitoring use-case, so suggest to look at it first: [Stack Monitoring | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-monitoring.html)
