Kibana-Elasticsearch stack: QueryParsingException

Question

Querying elasticsearch through kibana works as expected but any use of Add filter to match this value or Add filter to NOT match this value fails:

The exception thrown by elasticsearch is-

QueryParsingException[[logstash-2014.02.24] No query registered for [field]]

Kibana's config.js points at my elasticsearch server and the nginx forward includes the port 9200 and ES is reachable from the client end (all graphs load all right).

elasticsearch: "https://es.cloudexample.com",

The log at elasticsearch end is here.

Answer 1

What version of Kibana and Elasticsearch are you targeting? I had a similar problem today after upgrading to Elasticsearch 1.0 on Friday, thought Kibana was still working fine (page loaded and the graphs + data still displayed) until I tried adding a filter at which point it started spitting out error messages.

I upgraded Kibana to version 3 milestone 5 (the current latest version) and the problem went away.
