Can't make data searchable when I include time

[Hiven (Jason)]

I'm really stuggling. My elasticsearch data and mapping is in this format:

Data

{
  "test" : [ {
    "data" : "119050300",
    "date" : "10:00 2019-06-03"
  } ]
}

Mapping

{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "date": {
        "type":   "date",
        "format": "HH:mm yyyy-MM-dd"
      },
        "data": {
        "type":   "integer"
      }
    }
  }
}

In Kibana I couldn't find this data, as the date didn't seem to appear even when I used the correct range. However, if I remove the time aspect and do this instead, it works fine:

Data

{
  "test" : [ {
    "data" : "119050300",
    "date" : "2019-06-03"
  } ]
}

Map

{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "date": {
        "type":   "date",
        "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
      },
        "data": {
        "type":   "integer"
      }
    }
  }
}

Can someone please tell me how to include the time and not have it break.

Hi @Hiven it's a weird behaviour but before opening any issue I'd like to ask you few questions:

• what is your Kibana version?
• what do you mean by In Kibana I couldn't find this data? where are you looking for that data? Does it appear as part of the doc in the discover?

I've tried to replicate that issue but I don't see any error on that mapping. I'm using the following from the dev tools:

PUT test_index
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "date": {
        "type":   "date",
        "format": "HH:mm yyyy-MM-dd"
      }
    }
  }
}
PUT test_index/_doc/1
{
  "date" : "10:00 2019-06-03"
}

PUT test_index/_doc/2
{
  "date" : "12:00 2019-06-03"
}

And those documents are easily visible from discovery

One last question: have you created an index-pattern on that index? it's required to be created for most of the application/visualization. Also remember to add that field as Time Filter field when creating the index pattern.
