Currently, when handling fields during Kibana index pattern creation, the handling of duplicate fields does not perform any logic, except to not add the field if it already exists. In Beats, fields are merged and also support an "overwrite" field property.

Unlike Beats, we will not support the overwrite property.

  • If more than one field exists with the same name and type, we will merge the fields
  • The merge works so that new field properties will be added but they will not overwrite the existing field's property if it already exists
  • if the duplicate fields have different types, ignore this duplicate field, a merge is not possible, and continue.
  • log the issue in kibana [EPM] log duplicate fields in kibana when creating index patterns #60952

See #60633
