Could not locate that index-pattern-field (id: flow.locality)

I'm starting to use the Filebeat netflow module. I've imported the filebeat 7.6.1 template and dashboards, but one of the visualizations generates this error:

Could not locate that index-pattern-field (id: flow.locality)

The data certainly contains that field, but I don't see that field in the index template. Should I file a bug or is something else going on? Thanks.

Hi @opoplawski!

Could you try to refresh the index template (from Kibana) to see if this changes things?
However I don't see this field in the mappings: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.6/exported-fields-netflow.html

I think you should open a bug issue for this.

Thank you!

Refresh doesn't help. I've filed https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/17457

Thanks

Hi!

It seems to me that this field is supposed to be part of the ECS fields (https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/949fb147336e41447c0f842d3e28d9f1073e926d/x-pack/filebeat/input/netflow/convert.go#L178) but I was not able to find it in the ECS list.

However let's track this in the GH issue to see why the visualisation is not loaded.
