Is that visualization built against the `bwcdr*` index pattern? ---

Hello @Tania_Bonilla , I am using Kibana, ElasticSearch and Filebeat version 5.1. This problem is generated when you have the same field in differents indexes and it is mapped as different datatype. Example: "fields.master/cpus\_used": "Field [fields.master/cpus\_used] of type [integer] conflicts with existing field of type [float] in other index." In this case, in one or more indexes I have the field "fields.master/cpus\_used" as integer and in another indexes, I have the field "fields.master/cpus\_used" as float. Because of this, Kibana does not "know" how to work with them in visualizations and dashboards. You can solve it using a template to create the index in which you should specify the datatype. Otherwise, you can use "Scripted Fields" to apply a custom script to create a new field modifying the datatype. Example: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/e/4e33f51a92445d0a13dd6baaf09749e998ea8674.png) Regards. ---

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you're asking how you index a document with more than one field. ```auto POST bwlog_seed/seed/seed_doc { "field1": "value1", "field2": "value2", "field3": "value3" } ``` In the above example, you are indexing a [document](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_basic_concepts.html#_document) into the `bwlog_seed` [index](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_basic_concepts.html#_index), and `seed` [type](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_basic_concepts.html#_type) with a document id of `seed_doc`. This document will have three fields: 'field1', 'field2', 'field3' ---
