Kibana - Visualize fields added by Enrich processor

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Using ES 7.6.2, I have added an enriched field to my indexed documents, using the Enrich processor. I can see my new field in my documents on the Kibana Discovery tab.

Example result:

{
    "original_match_field": "some_value",
    "enrich_field_1": {
        "original_match_field": "some_value", 
        "new_enrich_field": "some_other_value"
    }
}

I can select an enriched field as a column on my Discovery tab (ex: "enrich_field_1.new_enrich_field")

When I try to create a visualization for an enriched field (ex. a Pie chart), the nested "enrich_field_1" objects are not displayed for selection.

Am I not able to visualize enriched fields in Kibana?

You may have to refresh your index pattern in Kibana for the fields to be available for querying

Thanks for the suggestion.

The index with the enrichment was a new index brought in to Kibana, so that was not my problem but I understand needing, at times, to be sure that the mapping in Kibana for an index that has been changed is up-to-date (refreshed).

There was most likely something going on in the way my ingest pipeline with the enrich processor was working - made a few tweaks and everything is working the way I need it to.
