Hi,

I was using Kibana 4.5 and I used to generate pie charts, and split them using Aggregation on field names. Now I switched to Kibana GA 5.0.0 and when I try to do the same procedure, only 3 of my several string fields are appearing when I try to Split Slices using Aggregation \> Terms. I am using custom template in ES output of Logstash, but everything was fine in Kibana 4.5. Why is this happening? Somebody tell me how to fix this?

Thanks in advance..

could you please paste your mappings ?

make sure you are using `keyword` for strings (used to be `not_analyzed`), perhaps templates/mappings haven’t been updated accordingly

only not\_analyzed fields will show up, so you will have to update your mapping
