Hi,

New to elasticsearch and have a simple question had a hard time finding  
online.  
I wish to add a timestamp field.and later use it in kibana  
This is how my settings/ mappings looks like:  
{  
"aql": {  
"mappings": {  
"item": {  
"\_timestamp": {  
"enabled": true,  
"store": true  
},  
"properties": {}  
}  
},  
"settings": {  
"index": {  
"item": {  
"\_timestamp": {  
"enabled": "true",  
"store": "true"  
}  
},  
"creation\_date": "1423908699031",  
"number\_of\_shards": "5",  
"number\_of\_replicas": "1",  
"version": {  
"created": "1040299"  
},  
"uuid": "JqNaClL1Q5-ucG6NI1bvOA"  
}  
}  
}  
}

and after posting new indices would like to see a timetamp option to filter  
event in kibana.

Thanks in advance.

BR,  
Roy.

You have the \_timestamp field as you have defined, and you should be able  
to search on that field in KB.

Are you not seeing this?

Unfortunately no ):  
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue?  
Currently I'm in testing ENV so no problem to delete the index and start  
again from scratch.

It doesn't look like \_timestamp exists according to that second screenshot,  
can you see the value if you do a search via the HTTP API?

Kibana requires the timestamp filed to be named @timestamp so the internal  
\_timestamp field isn't going to work - I'm pretty sure that's still the  
case for Kibana 4 as well

So...  
Still no go ):  
My steps are -

1. Created new index 'aql'
2. added mapping on my 'item'  
now my mappings looks like this:  
{  
"aql": {  
"mappings": {  
"item": {  
"\_timestamp": {  
"enabled": true,  
"store": true  
},  
"properties": {}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Tried to read on other threads, and in stackoverflow and can see a lot of  
people asked the same question but no proposed result seemed to work for  
me...

If any one can provide a step by step on how to be to add to every entry a  
timestamp field by default I will guarantee his place in heaven!!

Thanks.

BR,  
Roy.
