Thanks for your response.

I am not experiencing any missing fields, in the Discover tab. I think my post was not clear enough. I did a repost, you can checkout here:[Fields in Kibana 5 are non-searchable and non-aggregatable](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/fields-in-kibana-5-are-non-searchable-and-non-aggregatable/70565/2)
