Hi I have a data where date filed is custom(date\_run). When i try to visualize the data, I always see count being zero, though i see some spikes.

Below are the pictures

Even i see it in the table format also i don't see any data

Hey @ndevathi, which version of Kibana are you seeing this behavior?

Hey @ndevathi, the legends to the right reflect the values when you hover over specific data points as illustrated below:

 ![32%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/f/4f9614f4631c87426a284694a81ce4854772705c.png)

The issue with the data table counts appears to be unrelated, can you open up an Issue for that [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Bug_report.md)

Hi @Brandon_Kobel Thanks for the info. I have created a issue as you asked. Here is the link for the same.[https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/22702](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/22702)

Can you please tell me how to generate a index with timestamp field. I mean how to add @timestamp or \_timestmap filed for all the index that gets created at runtime.

Thanks  
Nihar

Hey @ndevathi, you'll want to specify the `@timestamp` field when indexing your data into Elasticsearch, what's your current process for ingesting data?

If you have an existing index that you'd like to create the `@timestamp` field based on existing data, you can use the Elasticsearch [Reindex API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html)
