How to create TTL Index on long timestamp in MongoDB

Question

In my mongo database I have field timestamp which holds time of creation in timestamp ie: \"timestamp\": 1544029233021 I want to create TTL index on this field,

Answer 1

The documents aren't being expired because the timestamp value is an integer.

TTL indexes will only work on documents where the indexed field is a Date or holds an array of Dates:

If the indexed field in a document is not a date or an array that holds a date value(s), the document will not expire.
