Recognising timestamps in Kibana and ElasticSearch

Question

I\'m new to ElasticSearch and Kibana and am having trouble getting Kibana to recognise my timestamps.

I have a JSON file with lots of data that I wish to insert into Ela

Answer 1

Managed to solve the problem. So for anyone else having this problem:

The format we had our date saved in was incorrect, needed to be :

"_timestamp":"2013-07-05 08:49:30.123"

then our mapping needed to be:

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/test/container/_mapping' -d'
{
"container" : {
"_timestamp" : {"enabled": true, "type":"date", "format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS", "store":true, "path" : "_timestamp"}
}
}'

Hope this helps someone.
