Hello,

I do have fields in indexes that are listed as "Mapping conflict" (keyword, IP for example).

I know I have to reindex documents to fix that, but how I do I figure out what indices have the wrong type of a field?

You can see them on Kibana.

Go to Stack Management \> Data View and Select the data view were you know there are conflicts.

It will show you a warning saying how many fields have conflict and a link _View Conflicts_, when you click on this link, it will filter the fields that have conflict and show the conflicting types with another link that says `Conflict`, click on this link and it will show in which index the field has which type.
