I'm using APM Server version 7.11.2. I've got some services sending data to APM. I have a login by certificate microservice and I'd like to filter some request parameters in order to know who and when logged in. When I search in the apm\*transaction index pattern in the Discover area in Kibana, most of the fields that start by http appear with a yellow warning signal. It tells me to go Management \> Index Patterns \> Refresh field list, but doing so is not helping, as there aren't any new fields in the list.
I have also nuked all the indices in the test environment so it starts fresh, but the same problem appears. Is there any way to achieve this?

Hi @xacobecm,
not all collected data are indexed by default; if you want to index additional fields, you can configure the [**`setup.template.append_fields`**](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/configuration-template.html) in your `apm-server.yml`. Also see some [previous posts](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apm-index-not-refreshing-in-kibana-getting-mapper-exception/243063/5) with an example and some more details.
