Hello,

I'm using an elasticsearch cluster (6.5.4) but I have a strange behaviour in management  
 ![2019-01-15_0918](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/f/cfdef996bcbef6fb9dc4d0167b7a464ecdc49779.png)  
In this image we can see the sum of fields per index pattern is way lower than the one in \_all (3727)

The issue I have is for a particular field, _ctxt\_executionTime_ it does not appear in available fields in visualize. I can't see it either in _logstash-\*_ index pattern, but only in \_all.

I've refreshed field list several time but still not here.

But in **discover mode** I see it without the warning as a number and I can even filter it successfully

```
{
  "range": {
    "ctxt_executionTime": {
      "gte": 0,
      "lt": 1000000
    }
  }
}

```

I would like to be able to use it in visualize and also understand why this field is not in my 'logstash-\*' pattern

Thanks and have a nice day 🙂  
Guillaume
