Hi,

i am getting the following error message if i am trying to use a new field i have created today:

> Filtering occus on the "geolocation.keyword" field, which doesn't exists on any documents in the "jv-\*" index pattern. Choose a different field or index documents that contain values for this field.

The message pops up on controls visualization page.

I am sure that the geolocation field does exist in the most documents. Searching for them in kibana is not a problem. I have some other similar fields that has been created like this field and none of them made this problem.

How can i solve this?

The error message is stating that the terms aggregation on the field `geolocation.keyword` provided zero results. This happens when none of the documents have values for the field.

Have you enabled the option `Use time filter` under the options tab?

What are the results of creating a data table that uses a terms aggregation on the field `geolocation.keyword`?

Hi Nathan,  
`Use Time Filter` is disabled.  
Creating a data table as terms, i am getting correct results.
