I'm having some difficulties getting some non-logstash data to show up in  
kibana4. All logstash data works fine. I loaded up the "french" data as  
suggested on the elasticsearch help page  
([http://www.elasticsearch.org/help](http://www.elasticsearch.org/help)) and everything works as far as  
elasticserach is concerned. I can successfully load, map, and query the  
data from the CLI. In Kibana4, I can add the index and it reads all of the  
fields. The "time-field-name" gives 3 options as expected (matches the  
mapping). I chose "date\_creation" ("2012-06-21 05:46:59") and then search  
for the data in Kibana with no success.

Just for kicks I loaded up kibana3 and I'm able to see the data with no  
date filtering. I changed the time\_picker field to "date\_creation" and  
again search for the data in 2012. Notta. Once I select a timeframe the  
data no longer appears.

Doest this seem like an elasticsearch mapping issue or something in Kibana.  
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.

SOFTWARE  
elasticsearch 1.4.0 Beta 1, Build 3998  
kibana 4.0.0 Beta 2
