Issue with Date Filter in Timelion (Kibana 6.8), TODAY starts at 9AM

[anthony_g (Anthony Gianastasio)]

Hello,

I'm really new to the Elastic Stack and I'm currently working on some dashboards that will rely on time series built using Timelion.

I'm working on Kibana 6.8 and I have a totally unexpected issue: whenever I select TODAY, or TODAY SO FAR in the date picker, my timeline always starts at 9AM. If I revert back to LAST N HOURS or any other time filters (absolute or not), the data comes back to normal. But this is very annoying because I would ilke to lock the "TODAY" filter on my dashboard.

For example, with TODAY SO FAR :

VS LAST 12 HOURS :

I don't understand what can cause this. Do you have any idea?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

Have you configured the dateformat:tz setting in Kibana?

It might be this bug which appears to only have been fixed in version 7.6.

Hello Nick,

Thanks a lot for your fast response.
For now, I kept the default settings here, meaning "Browser".

But just right now I tried to update it to "Europe/Paris" for example, but it still starts at 9AM

So potentially no workaround here except bumping to a more recent version of Kibana which is not possible for me at the moment unfortunately?

Hi Anthony,

Unfortunately, I do not see a workaround for this bug in Timelion.

Is it possible to create your visualization using a different application like TSVB?
