Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I would like to request a new field field_count in the /_cat/indices API that provides the number of fields in an index’s mapping. By adding this metric, we would be able to set up OpenSearch monitors using the cluster metrics monitor type for indices when indices exceed a predefined threshold.

Describe the solution you'd like

Something like this:

GET /_cat/indices?h=index,field_count&v
index           field_count
my_index1       21
...
