Hello all,

Hope someone could assist me in diagnosing this issue I have been trying to resolve for a while now but got no where.

I am using kibana version 6.X. When i view my azure logs from Kibana, I am seeing some fields displaying this error, " **Objects in Array are not well supported**" when hovering over the black triangle. As you can see in the image attached.

This is preventing the fields to be used when trying to create visualizations. I have been looking at filters and patterns to see if there is a way to resolve this issue but no luck. Any idea anyone please?

There is much better support in later 7.X releases, you should upgrade 🙂

Thank you warkolm for your response.

What about splitting nested fields into different fields. What is the best way to achieve this?

For example I am trying to extract the nested field (key) below and add it to a new field called key

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/8/187c3e3abca5c387d052b6b02c4135465e2641d3.png)

I was hoping that using a filter like this would work:

```auto
filter {
   mutate {
       add_field => {
          "key" => "%{[properties][additionalDetails][key]}"
      }
   }
}

```

But I get the result shown below in kibana discovery:

ANY IDEAS?
