Hi @per_82, It'd be great if you can provide more details regarding your situation: - What do you mean by reinstalling stack? - What version of the stack you use and used before you "reinstalled" it? Also please try to refresh the Kibana mapping cache in `Management -> Index Patterns`: choose your index pattern and press "Refresh field list" button (top right corner, near the Delete button) and then try to create your viz again and let me know if it helps. Thanks, Oleg ---
