Hi, it is not possible to hide the Time column unless you are using an index pattern with no time field configured.

That just doesn't make sense to me. Every column should be able to be hidden. Hopefully this will be added in a future release.

I agree, we have an [enhancement issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3319) to track this as well. Our resources are limited while feature enhancements seem endless even though we try our best to allocating resources to high value areas. But the beauty of being open source means that anyone can make a meaningful contribution to the community!
