Guys, there is an erro here in the WHERE clause in canvas:

 ![Table](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/f/8fbac6a01f0dbf5dd833716e6909ab985ac95d5f.png)

`SELECT CURRENT_DATE(),CAST(start_time AS DATE) FROM "active_calls"`,

but when I put the where clause to COUT(\*)

`SELECT CURRENT_DATE(),CAST(start_time AS DATE) FROM "active_calls" WHERE CAST(start_time AS DATE) = CURRENT_DATE()`

The result return 0, no table, nothing

Can you share you index mapping ?  
and may be try to convert to VARCHAR before comparing

```
POST _sql?format=txt
{
  "query": """
SELECT CAST("@timestamp" AS DATE), CURRENT_DATE() from "my-events"
WHERE CONVERT(CAST("@timestamp" AS DATE), VARCHAR) = CONVERT(CURRENT_DATE(), VARCHAR)
"""
}
```
