Hi,

I am using Kibana 7.5.2 and can't see "message.keyword" when trying to create a "data table" visualize. I need to display error/info/warn message in dashboard using it. I have refreshed the index pattern but it didn't help

Did you verify that the field is `aggregatable` in your index pattern? Is there a particular aggregation you are trying to use with this field?
