I've installed Kibana with Timelion and I found the problem that I've got the collect datas from Kibana's filter. but for Timelion, just simple ".es(\*)" will return nothing.

Please anyone help. Thank you.

Please see my attached screenshots.

Based on the screenshot of Discover, it looks like your time field is called `ts`. Timelion looks for the field to be called `@timestamp` by default. Look in Kibana Advanced Settings if you want to change that.

You can also specify the time field in the query, with `.es(timefield='ts', q='*')`
