@yuliacech Does this impact the behavior of opening the flyout for an index? I created #106041 to propose similar behavior to what you've implemented, but in that issue I note that we'd need to load the mappings and other information for an index opened in the flyout. |

Thanks for working on this @yuliacech! Changes LGTM. Verified table and flyout still render as expected.
I didn't do an in-depth look at the current test coverage - are there any additional tests we should add to ensure there are no regressions, or do we already have adequate coverage for the table/flyout?

It looks like there are separate requests made when a user clicks on the following tabs in the flyout: "Settings", "Mappings", "Stats", and "Edit settings" so this change should not impact the flyout.
I did notice the "Docs Deleted" and "Primary Storage Size" details are missing on the "Summary" tab in the flyout. From what I can tell, this is a pre-existing bug. I don't see either property in the response. I tried deleting a doc from an index and it was still missing. I can open up a separate issue once you confirm this is not a regression. Thanks!

Thank you for the review, @alisonelizabeth! And great catch with the flyout values, I opened this issue to track that. It seems like it's not a regression but an existing bug on main. |

@yuliacech Could you add some more details to this comment to make a note that we want to avoid bloating this response, and that if we include mappings we risk exceeding the 500MB (or whatever it is) limit on Node payloads? The goal we want to achieve is to ensure someone making changes to this code doesn't accidentally reintroduce this bug.
Fixes #106041
Summary
When loading all indices from ES for Index Management page, the request
GET *?expand_wildcards=hidden,allincludes all indices of the cluster with their settings and mappings. The response to this request can surpass the limit of 536MB and that would crash Kibana server.This PR updates the request used in Index Management to
GET *?expand_wildcards=hidden,all&filter_path=*.aliases,*.settings.index.hidden,*.data_streamthat would only return specific index properties from the ES.This change reduces the risk of Index Management requests to reach the limit of 536MB.
How to test
Check if Index Management is loading and there are no regressions in the indices table.
