Numerical metric field not visible in drop-down during aggregation

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I am creating data with these 3 fields:
"field" : "xxx",
"post_date" : "2017-07-26T12:45:00",
"status" : 3

Later when I am creating a heatmap visualization and selecting aggregation for a metric, I see the post_date field but not the status field.
Is there anything to be done so that status field is also included in the list?

Mapping:

{
  "testindex" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "summary" : {
        "properties" : {
          "field" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "type" : "keyword",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          },
          "post_date" : {
            "type" : "date"
          },
          "status" : {
            "type" : "long"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Found the problem. Inside the index the type was string (previously it was added as string). I had deleted the index through console but looks like that's not enough. After I deleted the index from Kibana and re-created it the field was created as number and now I can see the field in the drop-down.
