Hi David,  
I am not able to visualize data in the kibana.  
Could you verify this python client code.

```
 es.indices.put_mapping(
  index=index_name,
  doc_type=doctype,
  ignore=400,
  body={
      doctype: {
          "properties": {
              "@timestamp": {
                  "type": "date",
                  "format": "yyyy/MM/dd EEEE HH:mm:ss"
                  },
              "Load in kW": {
                  "type": "float"
              }
        }
      }
  }

```

)  
for row in reader:  
try:  
if(index == 0):  
headers = row  
else:  
obj = {}  
for i, val in enumerate(row):  
if i == 0:  
a = datetime.datetime.strptime(val,"%Y/%m/%d %A %H:%M:%S")  
obj[headers[i]] = a  
else:  
obj[headers[i]] = float(val)

```
          print(obj)
          # put document into elastic search
          es.index(index=index_name, doc_type=doctype, body=obj)
```
