Does the index that this visualization points to contain data?

When you go to the `Index Patterns` section of Kibana, and select that index pattern, does the field that the visualization depends on show as `searchable` and `aggregatable`?

I assume that the answer to both of these questions is 'no', so we go back to my suggestion to seed the index. What I mean is, just make sure there is at least one document indexed into the index. The nature of your index/data will determine how you would accomplish that. You could go into `Dev Tools` and manually index a document, or make sure that however you are populating your index has processed and indexed some documents before attempting to view the visualization in Kibana.
