How to find fields with mapping conflicts


My index settings in Kibana tell me that I have fields with mapping conflicts in my logstash-* index patterns.

What is the easiest way to find out which fields have a conflicting mapping and/or in which indices the conflict occurs?


Solution

  • As of at least Kibana 5.2, you can type "conflict" into the Filter field, which will filter all fields down to only those which have a conflict. At the far right there is a column named "controls", and for each field it has a button with a pencil icon. Clicking that will tell you which indices have which mapping.

    Fields filtered to only those with conflicts: fields filtered to only those with conflicts

    Indices in which field mapping conflicts: indices in which field mapping conflicts
