_version and _ttl fields not visible

[sspilleman]

In kibana 3.0 / 3.1 in table view, not all fields are visible like _version, _ttl if set. This applies for all views (table, JSON and raw)

I can confirm that _version is not returned. It is because when the _search request is executed, you need to specify "version": true or else ES defaults to not returning the version.

These are available in Kibana 4. You can add them to the default meta fields list in "advanced settings":

@rashidkpc I don't think this should be closed.
I have added _version to the metaFields in Kibana 4 and refreshed my index mapping in kibana. The _version field now shows up, but it's always empty. I believe this is because ElasticSearch will not return the _version unless you specify "version":true in the request.
