Hi! I have a date in the form of a string (epoch) like below: "1553012442470" Now I want to use scripted fields in kibana to convert the string date time to a date field. Also perform multiple operations with the field on the date, for example, subtract these two dates and choose the days …

return new Date(Long.parseLong(doc["_id.keyword"].value));

Converting a string date (epoch) to a Date field using scripted fields in kibana

Is there any reason you wouldn't want to do this at ingest time instead of after the fact with a scripted field?
