I see alot of fields in discovery tab.
But when i try to create a visualization, those fields does not show.
Also in discovery tab i am getting option to visualize few fields. But most of fields i do not get option to visualize.
Can you please help me understand how I can use all fields for visualization.
Thanks in advance.

what types are those fields you see in discovery but not in visualization ?
visualizations and specific aggregations may require specific types of fields to work. For example a date histogram aggregation only makes sense on a datetime field.

When viewing your Index Pattern, are those fields marked as **aggregatable**? That's a prerequisite for using those fields in visualizations.

No they are not. They don't even show up in index pattern.
They only show in Discover tab.

seems something must be wrong with the index pattern. could you try to delete in and re-create it ?
