I am getting an error when I am trying to use Discover tab.  
The format of my time\_stamp field is " YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss.SSS ". The data gets parsed in the discovery tab from hours to mins to secs, but fails to show milliseconds. Shows parsing error when it needs to plot milli seconds. If somebody could help me with it.

And the error message displayed is:-

Error

Looks like this is the same question as [Problem in displaying milli seconds in discovery tab](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/problem-in-displaying-milli-seconds-in-discovery-tab/185269)?

Yes, it is the same thing.  
I get that epoch\_milli doesn't belong here but how do i solve this error?
