Hello folks, New to to ELK stack. I am using latest ELK version on windows 8 with chrome browser. I have ingested UFO sightings documents into Elastic search. First I created the structure in ES and then using logstash I was able to index the data successfully. Both screen shots are shown below. I picked Visualization Type as "Coordinated Map" and I selected "Aggregation" as GeoHash. I immediately get "No compatiblity fields" . I thought I should be able to the "location" field which has been created as as "Geopoint" data type ![2018-03-13_12-27-09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/c/7c71584b98b13d80d89060746357b08fe789ba56.jpg) ![2018-03-13_12-34-52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/a/6a58b7600adc87f749dd155de853a72041e73b10.jpg) ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/d/fdea717d661ae58336087845fadff8660e7a8fd1.jpg) ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/2/923dd21aac8190e2c31ad0c124930747b3166b47.jpg) ---

You might need to refresh your index pattern fields in `Management` \> `Index Patterns`, then select your index pattern from the left and click the "refresh field list" button on the top right of the page. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/a/caf73f5b20a4e31073e02a26fc55ad57e1579910.png) Does that make the field available? If not, can you provide the mappings for your ufo index by running `GET /ufo/_mapping` in `Dev Tools` \> `Console` and pasting the response here? ---

Spencer, I tried refreshing as you said. It didn't help. There is a limit of 7000 charecters to post a reply. Is there any way I can send the file to you? Thank You very much for responding. ---

something is not right. I have two mappings sections. ```auto "mappings": { "properties": { "ufo": { "properties": { "properties": { "properties": { "city": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "comments": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "country": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "date posted": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "datetime": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "duration (hours/min)": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "duration (seconds)": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "location": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "shape": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } }, "state": { "properties": { "type": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } } } } } } } }, "message": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "path": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "settings": { "properties": { "number_of_shards": { "type": "long" } } }, "shape": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } }, "state": { "type": "text", "fields": { "keyword": { "type": "keyword", "ignore_above": 256 } } } } } } } } ``` ---

Yeah, looks like something is misconfigured. You might want to wipeout the elasticsearch indexes and try reindexing your data a couple times to see if you can find the issue in the configuration. ```auto curl -XDELETE localhost:9200/ufo ``` will delete your ufo index and let you start over ---
