ES 5.1.1 server and Kibana (Windows 7 64bit). Not sure if this is a Kibana or an Elastic Search issue or my stupidity but I'm trying to make a split line chart and following instructions like this. As soon as I try to split my line by the field type I get no results. > ---

I whole heartedly understand how confusing it can be to deal with the difference between fields like `type` and `type.keyword`. We would love for Kibana to handle this more intuitively but the feature is pretty hard to simplify because of it's power and flexibility. Some potential reasons: for this behavior - Does the response from the spy panel show any data? If not then the documents in that time-range must don't have any values for `type.keyword` - Did `type.keyword` Exist when you indexed the docs? If not you'll need to reindex. - How was the type.keyword field created? What does you mapping look like? ---

I do indeed have a field called "type". Not sure what "type.keyword" is. What does ".keyword" mean?? ---

I got `type.keyword` from the aggregation example in the github issue. `.keyword` fields are not-analyzed which makes them well suited for aggregations. Logstash copies all string fields into these `.keyword` fields by default and disables running aggregations on the non-`.keyword` versions. ---

Yeah but when I created the mapping I made a field called "type" of type "keyword". Possibly I originally just loaded some data without a mapping -\> resulting in "type" and then later made an explicit mapping called "type" of type "keyword" which resulted in 2 fields? ---

Hmm... that doesn't sound right. ---

Can you send a screenshot of the visualize app when it's showing this behavior? ---

Well, I deleted my index, recreated the mapping explicitly and loaded my data. I am now able to split the bar/line charts. I _think_ my analysis was correct and Kibana was getting confused between type and type.keyword and thus it's kind of a bug somewhere. Unfortunately I can't now show you my original configuration but it's as I described: certain fields were duplicated with ".keyword". ---
