Hello,

I am trying to create the index "indexname" in Kibana with the following command:  
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST 'localhost:9200/indexname/\_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @file.json  
Then I create the index pattern and when I assess it with “GET /\_cat/indices?v” I get:  
yellow open indexname uuid-uoZxtnXnYROA 1 1 100 0 12.5kb  
My index looks fine, isn’t it?  
Usually the first time I send the file to my index (which creates the index) it works well, BUT not always.  
Then I try to update the index with :  
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPOST 'localhost:9200/indexname/\_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @otherfile.json  
Two different things happen in Kibana :

- No more data are available in visualize or dashboard no matter the time range
- Sometimes there is only my previous data, but not my new updated one  
I also tried with “curl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' -XPUT 'localhost:9200/indexname/\_bulk?pretty' --data-binary @otherfile.json” for the bad same result.  
More info:
- Running my Elastic Stack with Docker on Linux virtual machine
- Tried to delete and recreate my index several times
- My json file format:  
{"index":{"\_id":"1"}}  
{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe","age":60,"heartrate":70,"painrating":19,"date":"2020-05-13T09:10:14.325"}
- I choose “date” at Time Filter field name when I create my index  
Can you please help me? Thank you.
