All done! Kibana is now connected to your Elasticsearch data. Kibana displays a read-only list of fields
configured for the matching index.
NOTE: Kibana relies on dynamic mapping to use fields in visualizations and manage the
`.kibana` index. If you have disabled dynamic mapping, you need to manually provide
mappings for the fields that Kibana uses to create visualizations. For more information, see
<<kibana-dynamic-mapping, Kibana and Elasticsearch Dynamic Mapping>>.

=== Kibana and Elasticsearch Dynamic Mapping
By default, Elasticsearch enables {ref}/dynamic-mapping.html[dynamic mapping] for fields. Kibana needs
dynamic mapping to use fields in visualizations correctly, as well as to manage the `.kibana` index
where saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards are stored.
If your Elasticsearch use case requires you to disable dynamic mapping, you need to manually provide
mappings for fields that Kibana uses to create visualizations. You also need to manually enable dynamic
mapping for the `.kibana` index.
The following procedure assumes that the `.kibana` index does not already exist in Elasticsearch and
that the `index.mapper.dynamic` setting in `elasticsearch.yml` is set to `false`:
. Start Elasticsearch.
. Create the `.kibana` index with dynamic mapping enabled just for that index:
+
[source,shell]
PUT .kibana
{
"index.mapper.dynamic": true
}
+
. Start Kibana and navigate to the web UI and verify that there are no error messages related to dynamic
mapping.
