Hi,  
I have configured filebeat\>logstash\>elasticsearch\>kibana to get jenkins build logs.  
in Kibana i am receiving logs under which field-message which shows build job status(successful or failure)  
i want to make that particular field aggregatable and visualize build status with pie chart.  
can anyone help in this?

Thanks.

Hi,  
There should be a 'aggregatable' column in the index field table in Management -\> Index Patterns, which lists all the fields that can be used to aggregate.I n order to use the field for aggregations, the `type` should be `keyword` .

See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html 508](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html)

hope this helps
