Hi Team,  
I created columns for my log file and i can see that in Discover but while preparing/visualizing bar chart i can't see "Company" as a field in X-Asix drop down list.

How can we see custom fields in the Dropdown list (X-Asix=\>Aggregation=\>Field)

\*Company is a column/field name and it's available in discover \_source

Regards...

This is what a row looks like, i guess even after logstash filter "Column", entire row inserted as message?

What type of aggregation are you trying to do? Is the `Company` field indexed in Elasticsearch? Can you provide the mappings for this index or screenshots?
