Hello We changed our elk stack version from 6.8 to 7.6 Since this, the previous entries are not aggregatables anymore. Can't do sum, hit, top hit, unless I use .keyword parameter added by elastic. So for an example: before i had parameters.number-of-entries: 17 and now: parameters.number-of-entries: 17 (not aggregatable) parameters.number-of-entries.keyword :17 (aggregatable) And this for a number of indices of 900! So we have to change all our visualise saved items. Adding to this, as it's a new field, means using more field in kibana and elastic searches, increasing field limit to a higher score My question: how can I remove .keyword and make aggregatable the basic parameter? I want to do this automatically for all entries incoming next days, dont want to do change for all fields every day.. Shal I use template? how? Thanks for your advices Thank you ---
