Sometimes I meet the following warning : Courier Fetch: 1 of 90 shards failed. And when I look for in the elasticsearch log I find : No mapping found for ... in order to sort on However in all shards I've the mapping : "type": "date", "format": "dateOptionalTime" I don't understand, do you have any idea ? ---

It'd help if we could see the entire log entry. ---

Courier Fetch errors indicate failures on the Elasticsearch side. In this case, looks like a search query sent from the front end failed to parse on the backend. You can see some additional discussion about conditions that trigger this error here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3221](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3221) We are building in some additional structured exception handling in the future that should help provide more feedback at the Kibana level when such errors occur: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4536](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4536) ---

Thanks I think I found the cause : I had some visualisations with sort based on searches that used the index \* so of course the sorted field did'nt exist for some index ---
