Hi All,

I am unable to view the fields in kibana.

For the time Jan 1 to 31 the following fields are visible

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/c/2c2f04426737fd2ee7de35f8f185f65fadae47c4.png)

But for the same index from Jan 2 14:54:00 to Jan 2 15:00:00, I am able to see the all fields

1. err\_number
2. error\_msg
3. nagios\_epoch etc...

My queries:

1. Why i am unable to see the fields **"err\_number", "error-msg"** while selecting whole data?
2. If not how do i find the same.( i know there is error on Jan 2 14.54:00 ) If i am unaware of the error time how do i find the fields " **err\_number", "error-msg"**

Please help

The list of fields should display the accumulation of all fields for all documents which match your query. If one of your queries has a filter on it but the other does not, it's possible that you will retrieve a set of documents with different fields. Can you confirm that the same filters are applied to all of your screenshots?

Hi @cjcenizal,

Thank you for your response.  
The search query is same for all the results, only the time difference.

1. I am able to view all the fields for the particular time period **"Jan 2 2019 14:00:00 to Jan 2 2019 16:00:00"**
2. Just i select the time period from **"Jan 1 2019 00:00:00" to "Jan 31 2019 23:59:59"**

I am unable to view all fields( **which comes in the earlier query** ). Its showing only the major fields.  
I think its a unexpected behavior. Could you please help me on this.

Thanks,  
Sripal

Hi @cjcenizal

I am just sharing the screenshot of the query results again.

1. Query result for the Time Period " **Jan 2 2019 00:00:00 to Jan 3 2019 23:59:59**"  

2. The same query for the Time Period " **Jan 2 2019 14:54:00 to Jan 2 2019 15:00:00**"

Hi there, this definitely looks like a bug to me. I would expect all of the same fields from one query to be available in a broader query. Could you please submit a [bug report](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md)?

Thanks,  
CJ
