I have a term that looks like this "GET /carbon/metrics-view" in discover which is correct. However when I go to visualize it is splitting it up "get" "carbon" "metrics" "view" . It is setup as not\_analyzed.

Can you show the mapping from `GET /indexname/_mapping`? Also specify which field is causing the problem.
