Increase index.max_docvalue_fields_search to 200 (#20218)

andrewkroh · web-flow · commit e95a9058c838 · 2020-07-23T17:55:07.000-04:00
The number of docvalue fields in Filebeat went beyond 100 and Discover was not loading. I added settings.index.max_docvalue_fields_search=200 to the default index template. In Filebeat there are about 117 fields now. Fixes #20215
