What do the Icons in Kibana fields mean?


What do the icons mean: ?, t, #? Noticed that I can only use fields with a t icon in my visualizations


Solution

  • # means it's a numeric field

    t means it's a text field

    ? means that the type is unknown because the index patterns needs to be refreshed.

    Go to Stack Management > Index patterns, pick your index pattern and click the "Refresh" button at the top right, then all your fields will be properly identified.
