Hello All,

I have seen shortDots:enable into setting

Setting-\> Advance  
shortDots:enable (Default: false)  
Shorten long fields, for example, instead of foo.bar.baz, show f.b.baz

Question:

1. Where i need to mentioned foo.bar.baz, show f.b.baz (Into Elastic search ???)
2. Below is elastic search mapping document script

"logruntime": {  
"type": "date",  
"format": "epoch\_millis||MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"  
}

So it will create column into Kibana and name of column will be **"logruntime"** , But what if i would name of column **"Server Log Runtime"** into kibana

Do i need to make changes into Elastic Search mapping document ?

Thanks for your help in Advance,  
SAM

At this time you can only show the actual field name for fields in Kibana, but it is a requested feature.
