I enabled \_timestamp in the mapping as below. I also queried the mapping
back and confirmed it is set like below.
"\_timestamp" : { "enabled" : true,"store" : "yes"},
But in Kibana, the timefilter which relies on the \_timestamp doesn't work.
In the \_source, I don't see \_timpstamp is automatically created for each
document.
Any idea where is wrong?

Timestamp is indexed but source document is never modified.
That's why you can not see it in source.
