# stack es indices get-field-mapping cli command
<cli-modifiers>
</cli-modifiers>

```bash
elastic stack es indices get-field-mapping --fields <fields> [options]
```

Get mapping definitions.

## Options

<definitions>
  <definition term="--fields string required">
    Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of fields used to limit returned information. Supports wildcards (`*`).
    **Repeatable:** pass `--fields` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--index string">
    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (`*`). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use `*` or `_all`.
    **Repeatable:** pass `--index` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--[no-]allow-no-indices">
    A setting that does two separate checks on the index expression. If `false`, the request returns an error (1) if any wildcard expression (including `_all` and `*`) resolves to zero matching indices or (2) if the complete set of resolved indices, aliases or data streams is empty after all expressions are evaluated. If `true`, index expressions that resolve to no indices are allowed and the request returns an empty result.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--expand-wildcards string">
    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as `open,hidden`.
    **Repeatable:** pass `--expand-wildcards` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--[no-]ignore-unavailable">
    If `false`, the request returns an error if it targets a concrete (non-wildcarded) index, alias, or data stream that is missing, closed, or otherwise unavailable. If `true`, unavailable concrete targets are silently ignored.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--[no-]include-defaults">
    If `true`, return all default settings in the response.
  </definition>
</definitions>
