Hi @chrisronline  
Can you please look at the output of the query you asked me to execute?

Hi @Tanya_Shah,

I just want to verify something.

When I run the above query, I see:

```auto
{
  "took" : 5,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : {
      "value" : 71,
      "relation" : "eq"
    },
    "max_score" : null,
    "hits" : []
  },
  "aggregations" : {
    "types" : {
      "doc_count_error_upper_bound" : 0,
      "sum_other_doc_count" : 0,
      "buckets" : [
        {
          "key" : "index_stats",
          "doc_count" : 34
        },

```

The `buckets` array is filled out. Can you confirm that the `buckets` array, for you, is empty? It appears that way but I just want to verify there isn't some formatting issue.

Hi @chrisronline  
the bucket array for me is empty only.

Can we retry this command and can you use [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/) to send the entire response? I think you did it earlier but it wasn't the complete response

I posted the response at [https://gist.github.com/26tanyashah/c26bc69971d395307871d8b6157918ab](https://gist.github.com/26tanyashah/c26bc69971d395307871d8b6157918ab)

Please see if that helps

Thanks.

The problem seems to be that the mappings are disabled for the index:

```auto
{
  ".monitoring-es-7-2019.05.20" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "dynamic" : "false",
      "enabled" : false,

```

Let's see if we can figure out why that is.

First thing, let's see the index template used when creating monitoring indices by running the following command and reply with the response:

```auto
GET _template/.monitoring-es

```

It appears that index template is fine.

The most likely scenario here is there is another index template that is casting an extremely wide net that has mappings disabled.

We don't have a great way to searching for this, so the response will be quite large, but can you also run and return the result of:

```auto
GET _template
``
```

```auto

    "order" : 0,
    "index_patterns" : [
      "*"
    ],
    "settings" : {
      "index" : {

      }
    },
    "mappings" : {
      "enabled" : false
    },
    "aliases" : { }
  },

```

That index template is causing this. It is disabling mappings for _all_ your indices. I don't think this is what you intended. I'd recommend either just removing this index template, or changing it to apply to a more restrictive list of indices.

@chrisronline The issue got resolved.It was because of the mapping issue only.Now all the data is visible in kibana.
