I have set the `_size` in the Metafields in Advanced Settings in Kibana and now I can select this field for visualizations. Thanks to:

> Hey @AJinkya if you go to Management -\> Advanced Settings, you can add \_size to the metaFields setting, you'll then want to refresh your index pattern by going to Management -\> Index Patterns and clicking the "Refresh" button for the appropriate index pattern. You should now see the \_size field now.
