Hey @AJinkya if you go to Management -\> Advanced Settings, you can add `_size` to the `metaFields` setting, you'll then want to refresh your index pattern by going to Management -\> Index Patterns and clicking the "Refresh" button for the appropriate index pattern.

You should now see the `_size` field now.
