You mentioned this is a known problem. Can you point to an issue representing this? What version of Kibana are you on, and what do you do to encounter this issue? ---

Hi, i believe is similar to [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9571](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9571) as pointed out above. My ELK stack are running on version 6.2.4. I followed the documentation which uses the filebeat.modules to read the apache2 logs and which output to logstash. Following i uses the apache2's configuration example provided here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-config-for-filebeat-modules.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-config-for-filebeat-modules.html) Currently i'm able to search the logs example and there isnt any grok parse error. However, when accessing the visualize and dashboard, the mentioned error will show up. ---
