This is primarily a Kibana question.  I'm wondering if (and how) I can use 
the search request 
fields feature of elasticsearch (i.e., 
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-fields.html
)
in a kibana templates dashboard 
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/kibana/current/templated-and-scripted-dashboards.html
.

I want to restrict (limit) the fields resulting from queries (or filters) 
and passed on
to the Kibana analytic/panels.  

In elasticsearch I can easily do this - for example: 

    curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/myindex/_search?pretty' -d '{
      "fields": [ "ltime", "bytes", "ploss" ],
      "query": {
            "term" : { "src.domain.name" : "ukraine" }
       }
    }'
 
does exactly what I want -- but I can't seem to make it work in Kibana by 
modifying 
template (json) files in Kibana (i.e., json files residing in Kibana's 
app/dashboards directory).  
There is no error condition from addition of the fields attribute; it just 
seems to be ignored. 

I am wanting to do this both to limit visibility to some fields and also for
performance (I typically only need a small subset of the 100 or so fields in
the ES documents for any given Kibana dashboard).  

Thanks for any pointers.
