Hi  
i have two field in kibana "hostname" and "usage", when i add "usage" it will show area chart but when i add "hostname" as breakdown not show.

FYI1: hostname type are text and not aggregatable!  
FYI2: these field created by logstash(http\_poller) from influxdb.

Any idea?  
Thanks

Can you show the mapping for the index?

From Kibana - Dev Tools

`GET indexname`
