Hi all,
I am sure this might be a simple question but I can seem to find a single answer for this. When you go to "Monitoring" \> "Indices" -- it shows a predefined list of columns. Is there a way to add or remove some columns to better filter the indices as required?
I know I can query it with:
`GET _cat/indices?h=h,s,i,id,p,r,dc,dd,ss,creation.date.string`
But the question is how to get that type of view in the Kibana interface

Hi @Carlos_Magalhaes,
There's currently no way to customize this screen, but that sounds like an interesting idea! If you'd like, I encourage you to open a feature request: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new/choose](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new/choose)
