Visualizing Nested Objects in Kibana

[lmit (Lance Mitchell)]

I have indexed a docs with nested objects which appear to have the correct mappings for aggregation in the index pattern

But when i attempt to visualize the data to filter,

1. I do not see the fields on the left column, allowing me to perform operations on these nested object fields
2. The whole sensors is one single mass of text, without allowing individual operations
   
   

But have defined the vehicle.sensors as type "nested" in mappings

How do I resolve these issues?
Am I able to perform visualizations on these fields?

Hi @lmit

Support for nested fields in Kibana got a first release in 7.6, but as described here with the following features

• Index Patterns will detect Nested Fields correctly
• You will be able to watch Nested Fields in Discover
• Filtering on Nested Fields via the filter bar works
• KQL allows searching for nested fields (see the KQL documentation for an explanation of the syntax on querying nested fields)

You can track the support for nested and other elasticsearch aggregations on this meta-issue.

Best
