Hey @jasonazzarella,

I tried your example, and the regex query worked for me:

I don't expect it to help, but you mentioned that you switched from a dynamic mapping to a fixed mapping. When you switched, did you happen to refresh your index patterns in Kibana? If not, can you perform that refresh (under Management -\> Index Patterns), and give it another try?
