Hi @vincent2mots

You are able to add additional templates that affect indices that you don't manage directly.

Try putting this into Kibana dev tools:

PUT _template/custom_monitoring_template
{
  "index_patterns": [
    ".monitoring-es-*"
  ],
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "index_stats": {
        "properties": {
          "shards": {
            "properties": {
              "total": {
                "type": "long"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This will affect newly created indices, so it will not automatically start working until the next index is created (which will be tomorrow)
