I am working on ingesting various system logs into elasticsearch and then visualizing it on kibana. But the discover view of kibana is really slow for our case. It takes around half a minute to just add a filter using the "Add filter" tab( I guess this is because we have around 6000 fields in the entire index pattern).  
We have around 50,000 documents ingesting in our cluster every minute and are currently indexed using @timestamp into a single index pattern.

I would appreciate if I could get some guidelines as to how I should proceed with improving the performance.

> Hi Felix, thanks for your reply. Is there an issue which tracks the performance improvements of the discover view? I would like to follow the progress, because that seems like the best solution. Unless then I will try to increase the shards per index, maybe this will improve the overall query performance.

Regards,  
Aaron
