I have an index with 4 types in it.

But In my Discover Tab in Kibana, I can only see documents of 1 type.

I cannot see documents of other types. How can I do that ?

I moved your question to #kibana.

Please note that in the near future (well from yesterday and 6.0.0-beta1), elasticsearch won't allow you to create indices with more than one type. In short, types are going to be removed.

How many documents do you have? Are just the first 500 all the same type? Maybe you can try sorting by type, or using a query to filter by type. Putting `-_type:"booking"` into the search box should remove booking documents

I have around 50k documents over the range of last year.

When I write `-_type:booking` in Kibana, nothing shows up.

But when I request from terminal,

```
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/vogo-database/user/1?pretty'

```

Here, the `user` type returns the documents.

Why then Kibana does not show ?
