Hi i want to know that if we can remove default fields or not in elasticsearch

i mean :

```
 "_index" : "iislogs",
 "_type" : "_doc",
 "_id" : "G2_plGwB4leTdzHx29fX",**
 "_score" : 1.0,
  "_source" :{
      "S-Port" : "62416",
      "CS-Username" : "-",
      "CS-URI-Query" : "-"

```

if we have an index like that can we remove or disable default fields ? ( "\_index , \_type , \_id , \_score , and \_source )

i want to get fields just like that :

```
      "S-Port" : "62416",
      "CS-Username" : "-",
      "CS-URI-Query" : "-"

```

Thanks.

You can't disable fields. But you can probably filter the output. Look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/common-options.html#common-options-response-filtering](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/common-options.html#common-options-response-filtering)
