Hi,

I am using elasticsearch 5.2.2 with kibana 5.2.2, but kibana does not show elasticserch data.

when i remove " **Index contains time-based events "** , i can see the data.

Regards,  
Debarun.

Does the mapping of your data have a field that is mapped as timestamp?

You can check by running a query for the mapping:

```auto
GET my_index/my_type/_mapping

```

The result should have a field that's mapped as a time field:

```auto
...
        "properties": {
          "@timestamp": {
            "type": "date"
          },
...

```

See the docs for how to map a field as a date datatype: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date.html)
