Hello,

I want to index documents with a \_timestamp or date field when I index the documents. I have read the documentation and the \_timestamp option is deprecated.

I have create an template with the f"\_timestamp" field and is created but it doesn't appear in Kibana, which one could it be the reason?

I finally index the documents with Spark, I'd like to have an automatic way to do it and do n't to have to index the \_timestamp field explicitly.
