Hi- I'm using Kibana 3 to dig through ES logs that are of several types:  
email logs and several type of IDS logs which have been parsed and inserted  
in ES. My problem is that fields selected for one type are always visible -  
even when displaying other types where the fields are not present. The  
"All" display shows (1), and "Current" shows (32) - which is correct for  
the selected type (mail). But 4 columns are present in the table display  
that do no exist in a mail record, and they take up most of the display.

See attached partial screen grab, where I want to get rid of the  
"category", "code", "description", and "srcIp" columns.

How can I get rid of these unrelated fields?

Thanks
