Hi,

I've created a following mapping:

```
{ "mappings":{
     "smalltype":{
        "properties":{
           "top_domains":{
              "properties":{
                 "num":{"type":"integer"},
                 "value":{"type":"string"}
              }
           },
           "top_ip_addresses":{
             "type": "nested",  
              "properties":{
                 "ATCK1":{"type":"integer"},
                 "ATCK2":{"type":"integer"},
                 "ATCK3":{"type":"integer"},
                 "ATCK4":{"type":"integer"},
                 "country_code":{"type":"string"},
                 "ip_address":{"type":"string"}
              }
           },
           "top_paths":{
              "properties":{
                 "num":{"type":"integer"},
                 "value":{"type":"string"}
              }
           }
        }
     }
  }

```

}

Then put the document into Elastic Search

```
{"top_domains":[{"num":2,"value":"url1.com"},{"num":2,"value":"url2.com"},{"num":1,"value":"url3.net"}],"top_paths":[{"num":212,"value":"/test.gif"}],"top_ip_addresses":[{"ATCK1":4,"ATCK2":6,"ATCK3":2,"company_name":"Generic_ISP_LTD","country_code":"IT","ip_address":"1.1.1.1","ATCK4":1},{"ATCK1":0,"ATCK2":1,"ATCK3":7,"company_name":"You_ISP","country_code":"US","ip_address":"2.2.2.2","ATCK4":7},{"ATCK1":1,"ATCK2":7,"ATCK3":3,"company_name":"ISPs_R_Us","country_code":"IL","ip_address":"3.3.3.3","ATCK4":2}]}

```

Then I try to create visualizations graphs, for example: visualize the graph per each country\_code to show the max(ATCK1)  
But Kibana doesn't show me any results.

If I remove from the "top\_ip\_addresses" the "type": "nested" notion, I can get the queries in kibana, but then it is treated like object, and loses context correlation

Am I missing something? Should I change the index mapping in some different way. Give Kibana some hint ???

Thanks,  
Julia

KB4 doesn't support nesting or parent/child at this point in time.

Thanks, Do you know when such support is planned to be added?
