I have a bunch of saved visualizations. I have dashboards that include them. The visualizations used to show up in the dashboards, but now they do not. I recently turned off \_all, which I suspect is related. In Discover, or when viewing the visualization, if I put 'source.keyword: "/whereever/G1gc.log"' in the search box then the data shows up. However, when I do this for the Dashboard that contains the same visualization I get nothing. I am wondering if this is related to the query saved in the kibanaSavedObjectMeta for the visualization, which refers to \*, which is not going to get me any data without \_all. Any suggestions? ---

Could you open your browser's Developer Console and check for any errors? ---

No errors, a couple of INFO messages from kibana.bundle.js and some response time messages from commons.bundle.js ---

Okay, a couple more follow up questions, please: 1. Which version of Kibana are you using? > In Discover, or when viewing the visualization, if I put 'source.keyword: "/whereever/G1gc.log"' in the search box then the data shows up. 1. So no data shows up in Discover if you leave the search box as `*`? And this was working before you turned off `_all` in Elasticsearch? If so, when you disabled the `_all` field in Elasticsearch, did you also setup a `index.query.default_field` in your index settings, as shown in [Mapping | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-all-field.html#disabling-all-field)? ---

I think I initially found it in 5.3.1 I think, then 5.3.2. I am now on 5.4. Correct, \* got you no data. The default query field was set to @message, but I delete that field if I parse all the fields out successfully. I moved the garbage collections stats into their own index, with the default query field being source. I rebuilt the visualization in 5.4 and it now displays correctly in the dashboard with either a blank filter or \*, or 'source: "/whereever/G1gc.log"' or "/whereever/G1gc.log" ---
