Hi all, Question about uptime screen graphs within Elastic/Kibana 7.8.1 interface. The dates shown on the graphs are in MM-DD standard, is there a way to change to DD-MM? I have tried the usual setting timezone and trying to change date format in setting but the date format in the graphs dose not follow. Thanks in advise Aiders ---

I believe you need to change the format in the index pattern. ---

Hi, I will need to look into this option further, the data comes from heartbeat agent. When I create graphs and tables from the index the date format is correct. Regards Aiders ---

Hi, Thanks for replying, below is a screen shot showing a 2 day time ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/6/164eaac6731694bdbe5b6039a635204061f8daaa.png) The dates are shown as US format and users are finding the formatting confusing as we are used to 21-10. Unsure if this is a bug or oversite in kibana Uptime system. Regards, Aiders ---

Hi @Aiders Yes this is an oversight on our part, we will try our best to fix this in our next iteration. Hopefully it will be a simple fix that can be done for 7.10 or 7.11 Regards ---
