Hi Team,

I'm using ELK stack 5.4 version and beats 5.4 version in our dev environmnet.

We can see initially when we search with a query in data discovery in kibana UI, the results used to come and those would be highlighted.

But for now highlighter is missing and we are unable to analyse logs in data discovery.

example: when we search below query in filebeat discovery tab, that data with LdapConnection message should be highlighted but its not.

message: "LdapConnection"

Please let us know what would be the issue.

Are you sure that the mapping hasn't changed? Highlighting is working great in my version of 5.4
