Hello,  
sadly it seems [Are runtime multi-fields possible?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/are-runtime-multi-fields-possible/330153) 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:

- on Discover page via Inspect flyout  

- on Stack Management \> Data Views page via the filter option

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...
