I tried that data is loading properly but it's not visible in Discover tab of kibana, I think there is issue with timestamp do you know how to specify the time stamp

How can I tell? I have no idea of what you sent, what the mapping is, how you configured your index pattern in Kibana...

You should provide more details.
