title: New Fields Not Visible in Kibana
body: <p>I have Kibana 4.0.1 running on top of elasticsearch 1.4.4. It was very smooth and virtually had no setup time. Suddenly I have run into a problem.</p>
  
  <p>If I add a new field in my elasticsearch index, it's not visible in fields section. I can still query on that field in discover section. But, I can't make a graph based on the new field as it's not visible in fields list.</p>
  
  <p>Kibana apparently fetches <code>_mapping</code> at the time of setup and stores it in elasticsearch index named <code>.kibana</code>. Once done, it never changes that. Deleting this index should load fresh <code>_mapping</code> from elasticsearch. But I don't want to lose all the saved dashboards and visualizations.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a was to force <code>Kibana</code> to load fresh <code>mapping</code> at regular interval?</p>
