I have a field called allowAnonymous which I extract with a KV filter in logstash, and mutate into a boolean value with convert like below. It is extracted just fine and I can see it in Discover that it has been extracted as a boolean field.

```
mutate {
convert => {
"allowAnonymous" => "boolean"
 }
}

```

But if I want to render a visualization, say a pie chart of occurrences of this field, split by TRUE/FALSE, it is not possible in Kibana (I am running 4.5). The fields that are displayed are only of values String and Number. What about boolean? It seems like a pretty basic capability to visualize what proportion of my requests are coming with TRUE vs FALSE. Is it possible in Kibana?

Thanks

Can we see your similar settings there?

Deleted my logstash-\* indexes, refreshed mappings in Kibana and now it is showing up. Thanks for your help. May have been a stale mapping which was causing it to not show.
