Hello,

Stack version : 7.9.3

I found issue when I tried to create a machine learning job in kibana

The error : Detector field "clientIP.keyword" is not an aggregatable field

The data looks like this in kibana

```auto
{
  "_index": "sample-dns-2021.03.07",
  "_type": "_doc",
  "_id": "71HPC3gBgsMd4G48HpLZ",
  "_version": 1,
  "_score": null,
  "_source": {
    "service": "tmm",
    "requestLn": 45,
    "origin": "CACHE",
    "location": "AS ID Nama Kota ",
    "questionName": "time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov",
    "answer": "{time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov.\t295\tIN\tCNAME\ttime-a-b.nist.gov }",
    "response": "DNS_RESPONSE",
    "rulePath": "/Common/log_dns_query_2",
    "clientIP": "103.124.89.250",
    "clientDescription": "Testing only",
    "queryTime": 0,
    "responseLn": 119,

    "host": "192.68.1.1",
    "message": "xxx",
    "@version": "1",
    "logLevel": "info",
    "questionType": "AAAA",
    "deviceTimestamp": "Mar 7 15:30:26",
    "deviceHostname": "GTM Bla Bla"
  },
  "fields": {
    "@timestamp": [
      "2021-03-07T08:30:26.504Z"
    ]
  },
  "sort": [
    1615105826504
  ]
}

```

Is there something wrong with field ClientIP that make it not aggregatable? I already using this field in my visualization and it works just fine.

Thank you

Why `clientIP` is not a IP datatype?

I believe that it would be better to make it an IP.

Not sure if that will answer though.

Same for `host` and `listener` BTW.

Yes it doesnt help

What I dont understand I can create machine learning job with my other index

I don't understand either. May be someone from the machine learning team could help?

First you need to check for consistent mappings across _every_ index which matches the pattern used in the data feed; if you are using wildcards check there aren't different mappings for `clientIP.keyword` in some indices. However, note that this error message can be misleadingly reported for other reasons. See [this](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/67789) issue.

Yes looks like misleading error

I can create the job using ML APIs now

Thanks for the info
