Hey Guys,

I am stuck with a strange issue. I have a field which contains the first 50 characters of an error log.

All values appear when i search for events via "Discover".

However, when trying to bucket by the field in a visual **some** values in this field are not being included. Any ideas why this might be? Could it be invalid characters?

Thanks,

Felix

Hi,

your are very likely running into this problem: [Cannot display string in a visualization table of more than 256 letters](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/cannot-display-string-in-a-visualization-table-of-more-than-256-letters/218890/2)

If your field is indexed as keyword and the length of the content is longer than `ignore_above`, it will show up in Discover (because it uses the `_source` object), but it won't work in visualizations, because aggregations are done on the indexed values (and everything above `ignore_above` is not indexed).

Increasing the value in your mapping and re-ingesting existing data should fix the problem.

If this doesn't help, please share the mapping of your index here, maybe something else is going wrong.
