I am trying to get the date part from the @timestamp field in 7.1. Looks like all the date functions were introduced in 7.5.  
Is there a way I can get the date part using SQL in Kibana

Trying the below query  
`SELECT date_part('day',"@timestamp") as date FROM <index_name> `

You must be using canvas? Do you need all the day parts to be unique? You could post-process the dates by formatting them, something like this

```auto
|essql "SELECT \"@timestamp\" as date FROM index"
| mapColumn date fn={getCell | date format="MM/DD"}

```
