I have the following mapping : ``` { "my_index": { "mappings": { "my_type": { "properties": { "date": { "type": "date", "format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis||dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm" } "data": { "type": "keyword" } } } } } } ``` And I post the following query : ``` { "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match_all": {} } ] } }, "aggs": { "filter": { "range": { "date": { "gte": 1476108600401, "lte": 1507644600401, "format": "epoch_millis" } } }, "aggs": { "value": { "terms": { "field": "value", "size": 10 } } } } } ``` And I get the following error; ``` { "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "[range] unknown field [date], parser not found" } ], "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "[range] unknown field [date], parser not found" }, "status": 400 } ``` Note that when removing the range query and move it to the query part, everything works fine : ``` { "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match_all": {} }, { "range": { "date": { "gte": 1476108600401, "lte": 1507644600401, "format": "epoch_millis" } } } ] } } } ``` Is there something I missed ? I'm using elasticsearch 5.5.0 _Pierre._ ---

The mapping is wrong. You edited it manually while posting. Could you provide a full recreation script as described in > [@About the Elasticsearch category](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21): > > The heart of the free and open Elastic Stack Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of addressing a growing number of use cases.

Sorry, you're right here is the index creation : ``` PUT my_idx { "mappings": { "my_type": { "properties": { "date": { "type": "date", "format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis||dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm" }, "data": { "type": "keyword" } } } } } ``` ---

It looks like you are missing the object for the name of your aggregation inside the aggs object. I think it should instead be: ```auto "aggs": { "my_filter_agg": { "filter": { "range": { "date": { "gte": 1476108600401, "lte": 1507644600401, "format": "epoch_millis" } } }, "aggs": { "value": { "terms": { "field": "value", "size": 10 } } } } } ``` The error message is stating that it doesn't know about the field "date" in the JSON for the range aggregation because its interpreted the name of the aggregation as `filter` and the type of aggregation as `range` so its trying to map the `date` to a parameter for the range aggregation which doesn't exist ---
