Hi everyone,

I'm currently changing my template mapping from Dynamic to Static.

I've done the following actions on Kibana regardless old data:

- Delete Index in Kibana
- Delete template
- delete related indice

Then:

- Upload the new static template
- Sending new logs and waiting them to appears
- Create a new Index again with Kibana

Every previous step has worked well, except that I'm surprised about the numbers of fields displayed on Kibana after index creation.

I actually obtained more recognized fields (most of them are indexed) compared to fields that are added with dynamic template

I've expected to only catch a small amount of fields (maximum 10)  
Here the following mapping

\<"mappings": {  
"doc": {  
"properties": {  
"@timestamp" : { "type" : "date" },  
"@version" : { "type" : "keyword", "index" : false },  
"uri" : { "type" : "keyword" },  
"duration" : { "type" : "integer" },  
"status" : { "type" : "keyword" }  
}  
}  
}\>

-\> Do I have to specificly exclude other fields?  
-\> Does it matter with the way I manage my pattern?

I'm currently use ELK 6.2.

Thanks in advance!
