Hi,  
I am using 6.1.2 of Kibana. On the dashboard I have a Pie Chart which shows true and false on it. When I click on true section I am getting this error.

Error: Request to Elasticsearch failed: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"query\_shard\_exception","reason":"failed to create query: {\n "bool" : {\n "must" : [\n {\n "match\_all" : {\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n },\n {\n "match\_all" : {\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n },\n {\n "match\_phrase" : {\n "QC.QC\_PASSED.value" : {\n "query" : 0,\n "slop" : 0,\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n }\n },\n {\n "range" : {\n "ACTIVITY\_UPDATES.when" : {\n "from" : 1518590160628,\n "to" : 1526366160629,\n "include\_lower" : true,\n "include\_upper" : true,\n "format" : "epoch\_millis",\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n }\n }\n],\n "adjust\_pure\_negative" : true,\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n}","index\_uuid":"fosThHoRSXmjJ64BnOWllw","index":"autoqc-new"}],"type":"search\_phase\_execution\_exception","reason":"all shards failed","phase":"query","grouped":true,"failed\_shards":[{"shard":0,"index":"autoqc-new","node":"\_CvNVfpaR\_mXdow4bEimTQ","reason":{"type":"query\_shard\_exception","reason":"failed to create query: {\n "bool" : {\n "must" : [\n {\n "match\_all" : {\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n },\n {\n "match\_all" : {\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n },\n {\n "match\_phrase" : {\n "QC.QC\_PASSED.value" : {\n "query" : 0,\n "slop" : 0,\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n }\n },\n {\n "range" : {\n "ACTIVITY\_UPDATES.when" : {\n "from" : 1518590160628,\n "to" : 1526366160629,\n "include\_lower" : true,\n "include\_upper" : true,\n "format" : "epoch\_millis",\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n }\n }\n],\n "adjust\_pure\_negative" : true,\n "boost" : 1.0\n }\n}","index\_uuid":"fosThHoRSXmjJ64BnOWllw","index":"autoqc-new","caused\_by":{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Can't parse boolean value [0], expected [true] or [false]"}}}]},"status":400}

This was unfortunately a bug due to some changes in Elasticsearch, that happens in the Kibana 6.1 version. It was fixed via [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/15927](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/15927) and all versions 6.2+ are not affected by that issue.
