List all runtime fields in index pattern?

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hello,
sadly it seems Are runtime multi-fields possible? is not possible,
so my question for today is: Is it possible to list all runtime fields for an index pattern in Kibana?

I know I can dump the mapping for each index, but that is not practical. I want to start using dynamic mapping in runtime-fields mode, but I see no good way to list all runtime mappings so I can check what fields are new and add them to my mapping properly.

Hi @nisow95612,

If you are looking for ways to do it in UI, then there are some options:

Thank you for quick reply. I did not know these features.

So far I have no luck with Inspector. It only dumps info on the first few documents, not the whole index pattern.

My index pattern has only filter for field type. Is Scheme type a 8.x feature, or it show only after I add runtime fields?

To see runtime fields, check Inspector > Request > "runtime_mappings" section.

This filter is available only in recent Kibana versions.

Ah, my bad. I was checking Inspector -> Response. That is like 1.5MB of text.
I would never expect Request to be relevant, so thank you very much for the answer.

I expected it will be like that. But it is good to know it is waiting for me there, once I resolved this piece of software that refused to support ES8...
