version: 7.0.0  
problem: Can't create a time-based index pattern. Field type appears as "unknown" when the @timestamp type is date\_nan  
os.  
how to reproduce:

- On Elasticsearch

PUT \_template/test-nano  
{  
"index\_patterns": ["test-\*"],  
"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 1,  
"number\_of\_replicas": 0  
},  
"mappings": {"properties": {"timestamp": {"type": "date\_nanos"}}  
}  
}

POST \_bulk  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test-nano" } }  
{ "@timestamp":"2019-04-23T13:56:34.056753827Z" }  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test-nano" } }  
{ "@timestamp":"2019-04-23T13:56:34.056753826Z" }  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test-nano" } }  
{ "@timestamp":"2019-04-23T13:56:34.056753824Z" }  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test-nano" } }  
{ "@timestamp":"2019-04-24T13:56:34.056753825Z" }  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test-nano" } }  
{ "@timestamp":"2019-04-24T13:56:34.000000001Z" }  
{ "index" : { "\_index" : "test-nano" } }  
{ "@timestamp":"2019-04-24T13:56:33.999999999Z" }

GET test-nano

GET test-nano/\_search

- On Kibana

Try to create a time-based index pattern(test-nano\*) and try to pick a time at the discovery timeline.

date\_nanos isn't currently supported in Kibana. You can follow the issue here [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/31424](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/31424)
