Using the filter helper dropdowns in Kibana is always failing to populate the options list, instead showing There aren't any options available
If I type a value in manually, it works just fine. And creating a control viz also works just fine:
In fact, the control list is populated with values both seen and not seen in the currently picked time period. This is exactly the behaviour I would expect when clicking through the filter helper.
I'm 7.1.1 with a pretty standard metricbeat setup, but I was seeing this issue in 6.x too. I've used agent.hostname for all tests here, which is mapped as keyword:
"properties" : {
"@timestamp" : {
"type" : "date"
},
"@version" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 1024
},
"agent" : {
"properties" : {
"ephemeral_id" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 1024
},
"hostname" : {
"type" : "keyword", <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"ignore_above" : 1024
},
And the index-pattern shows it as searchable and aggregatable:
The 'Top 5' values in discover works as expected.
So why are the filter lists not being populated?
