Documents using linux epoch as the date format is not compatible with the time filter dropdown in Canvas

Is there a workaround for this? I tried using a scripted field that converted it to a "normal" date time but scripted fields not available in canvas

Unfortunately Canvas doesn't support scripted fields yet. Please show your support for that issue here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/26846](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/26846)

We do use community feedback to inform our roadmap so it would help with prioritization.

For now, I think this leaves you in the position of needing to transform your data before it's ingested into Kibana.
