I have Kibana 4.0.1 running on top of elasticsearch 1.4.4. It was very smooth and virtually had no setup time. Suddenly I have run into a problem.
If I add a new field in my elasticsearch index, it's not visible in fields section. I can still query on that field in discover section. But, I can't make a graph based on the new field as it's not visible in fields list.
Kibana apparently fetches _mapping at the time of setup and stores it in elasticsearch index named .kibana. Once done, it never changes that. Deleting this index should load fresh _mapping from elasticsearch. But I don't want to lose all the saved dashboards and visualizations.
Is there a was to force Kibana to load fresh mapping at regular interval?
