[FIXED] Templating variable doesn't work after dashboard import

Grafana Elasticsearch
1

Hey! We have had a bit of a shuffle and migration from one server to another and as a result we had to migrate our Elasticsearch and Grafana.

I have downloaded dashboards as .JSONs and imported them into the new Grafana. While the “normal” queries work fine, the template query returns nothing.
I have a template varaible that looks like this on the old Grafana:

oldGrafana
oldGrafana712×876 41 KB

And this is the query on the new Grafana:

nyGrafana
nyGrafana748×840 39.4 KB

As you may see the new Grafana does not receive any values. Have I missed something?

Before migrating:
Grafana 5.2
ES:2.4

After migrating:
Grafana 5.2
ES:5.5

Fixed

ES has changed type from String to Text as their default tyte and disabled fielddata on text as default. This means that Grafana was unable to perform aggregations etc on the indices.
Quix fix is to setfielddata=true for those fields that you want to use.

A porper fix is to reindice the indices with proper fieldtypes.
