I'm trying to group same errors on kibana with elk stack  
however when I visualise data by Error not all errors are there I'm visualising data on err\_message.keyword field.

What I noticed is that long strings are not there where small strings are there and can be grouped fine.  
Is there some limit on .keyword field type sometimes err\_message have like 400 chars here and can't be visualised.

When I click on add missing and group other values I can see the Other and Missing values in err\_message.keyword  
Can you tell me how can I resolve this issue?

What is the [elasticsearch mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-get-mapping.html) for the field `err_message.keyword`? If elasticsearch created the field mapping by default then it will probably look something like the below and the keyword field is getting trimmed at `256` characters.

```auto
          "agent" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "type" : "keyword",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          }

```
