That looks part of the Logs UI. I guess you're ingesting logs from suricata with Filebeat. It looks like a Filebeat processing error. You need to check what processor it's using and figure the errors out from there. There should be more info in the Filebeat error logs.

What is in the Filebeat logs? You have to start there. This is not a kibana issue, kibana only displays data and that's the data Filebeat ingests when there's an error. Make sure the configurations are ok and that the suricata logs are in the default place (otherwise you can specify another on in the filebeat configs).

when not enabling suricata, it looks like this

but when activating suricata, it's like this again
