Hi, I'm having an issue with Kibana (I'm running es 7.9.0 and kb 7.9.0). In Kibana under my index management I see that the 'mag\_mapping' index contains 50 million documents. However, when I look in the Kibana discover tab, I only see 14 million documents that are found. There is no time filter active on the search, neither is there a time field included in the mapping. I want to understand why this happens to make sure that I can retrieve all 50 million documents. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/c/6c527deaa8d7dd4561bb0d75a9eabd96ac060ae1.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/9/996860f629432a0cc27bc9f035e9115161d30f0d.png) Any pointers as to why this may happen would be great. ---

Welcome to the community @Diederik_Mathijs! If you go to dev tools and run `GET mag_mapping/_count` what do you get? ---

Thank you Aaron 🙂 It returns count:14314753 , which is the same number of documents that is displayed in Discover. ---

I am thinking `14,314,753` is the correct count. I'll do some digging to see why the number is different on the index management page. ---

I am unaware of how many documents were indexed, so it is entirely possible that `14,314,753` is the correct count. I would love to understand why that happens, thank you. ---

Are you using [nested fields](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/different-values-for-index-docs-count-in-kibana-sense/91278/3) by chance? ---

Yes, I do. So that is why I have 50 milion docs, thanks for helping me! And excuse me for re-posting this issue. I searched for a while but didn't find that particular post. ---
