Hi all!  
Please clarify me, how to setup dynamic field mapping only for top levels?  
Now i have this teamplate:

```
     {
      "template": "dash-*",
      "index_patterns": ["dash-*"],
      "settings": {
        "index": {
          "mapping.depth.limit": "30",
          "mapping.total_fields.limit": "10000",
          "number_of_shards": "6",
          "number_of_replicas": "1",
          "refresh_interval": "5s"
        }
      },
      "mappings": {
        "doc": {
          "_meta": {
            "version": "1055"
          },
          "dynamic": "true",
          "dynamic_templates": [
            {
              "deep_objects": {
                "path_match": "*",
                "mapping": {
                  "enabled": "false",
                  "dynamic": "false"
                },
                "path_match": "Response.*",
                "mapping": {
                  "enabled": "false",
                  "dynamic": "false"
                }
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }

```

and i see in kibana/management/index patterns

but in discover i see

what i need fix for view in kibana only top level fileds and dont write custom filed mapping? or the easiest - write simple custom mapping for top level fileds & off dynamic? It is predicted that the set of fields can change and this is undesirable.
