- Hi , today i have some issue with meta-fields on my kibana's .New indices are not coming ( they are not searchable and url request give me 404 for them) . But i can see data for this indices . Just only meta fields ( \_id, \_index, \_score, \_type ) are grey . Hint says "unable to filter for presence for meta fields". Can anyone advise what kind of this problem ?

Hey, a few questions:

Can you share your Kibana/elasticsearch version?

When you manually inspect one of these documents by id in elasticsearch are you able to see any data? Can you share how these documents are ingested?
