Hi, I'm trying to configure a histogram panel on Kibana 3 to show the count of a certain document type in elasticsearch over time. Each document has a 'date' field containing the creation time of the element as a timestamp (epoche + millisecons) saved as a long (e.g.: 1391175467000 --\> Fri Jan 31 2014 14:37:47 GMT+0100 (CET)). The mapping of elasticsearch marks this field as a date but without format specified as timestamp format should be supported out of the box. When I create a histogram panel for the index containing the documents and set the 'date' field as the time field, then the histogram doesn't show what I expected it to show. It's actually empty and the date shown on the x-axis shows 01/01/70 which seems to me very wrong as none of the documents was created at these date. Any ideas what's going wrong here?
