Aggregate by keyword in kibana 5.6

Hi everyone!
I have the following setup: filebeat (collects log file) > logdash (filters JSON) > elasticsearch > kibana.
In kibana, I mapped the data as follows:
get filebeat-2017*/_mapping/log results in:

                "ignore_above": 1024
              }
            }
...

as you can see, the terms I want to aggragate by are defined as keywords in the mapping.
When I use Discover in kibana, the message field is:

...
"fieldType": "VARCHAR2",
"fieldValue": "85928 CEDEX 9"
"fieldType": "DATE",
...

So it seems like kibana understands that this terms are not plain text, but a terms that need to be read by themselves.
The problem is that I can't find an option in the kibana aggregation in Visualize, that will anable me to aggregate by this fields (more specificly - by there results, for example: how many "fieldType" are dates and how many are other types).
How can I aggregate by the keywords I want?

This is the logstash confic I use:

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}
filter{
   split{
     field => "changedFieldList"
        }
   json{
        source => "message"
        target => "parsedJson"
      }
      }
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["http://127.0.0.1:9200"]
 index => "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
document_type => "%{[@metadata][type]}"
}
}

And the file I insert is something like this:

{
	"ChangeInfo": "Archive Log Set archiveLogSet.108058603.108058399 Info:Thread# Sequence# FirstScn LastScn ",
	"documentsList": [{

		}]
	}]
}

What do I need to do in order to aggregate and visualize by the terms in the JSON file?

Thanks!

In Kibana under your index pattern in Management do you see that the fields are aggregatable? What if you click the refresh field list button?

After I refreshed the index pattern like you ask, I see my field in there, and I see that they are aggregateable.
The problem is that in Discover I still can't aggregate by them, even when I search for them, and in Visualize they don't apear ether.

EDIT:
I was able to find these fields in the Discover page, but they seem to be empty, even if they do appear under the "message" field. Why is this happening?

anyone?
