Date histogram + global time filter

Elastic Stack Kibana
2

Let me rephrase the issue to see if I understand this correctly.

Problem:

  1. You have an index that has three different timestamp fields.
  2. You want a visualization for each of these three timestamp fields that aggregate data according to the respective field.
  3. You want the timepicker at the top of kibana to affect the respective timestamp field in each visualization.

Issues:

  1. The timepicker only affects the field specified as Time-field of the index pattern in kibana.

Suggested Solution:

  1. Create multiple index-patterns in kibana.
    a. create an alias for your index per timestamp field in elasticsearch
  2. Build a visualization for each timestamp field using their respective index-patterns
  3. Include all three visualizations on a dashboard to have the time picker affect them all according to their respective timestamp fields

Let me know if this helps, or if I was working off of any incorrect assumptions.
