Nagesh, Time _is_ `@timestamp`, or whichever time-series field you choose. Any particular reason why you wanted to make the change? Thanks ---

I thought both will display different format and we can't change it. I got to know that I can change the format of Time using the settings. Thanks, Nagesh. ---
