Which setting affects the appearance of value suggestion list in filters and in queries?

We have several environments and it doesn't work for one of them. The difference between environments is that the one that doesn't have suggestions uses Filebeat to send logs to Elastic.

Hi,

Filter suggestions appear for keywords. Can you please check the mapping your field in elasticsearch?

Thanks,

Indeed, the index there where there were no suggestions wasn't built with keyword type fields.
