Hi All, I have got an issue where a particular index is not showing the graph like other indexes do within discovery. This index I am referring to is for the ingestion of Cloudtrail logs not showing the bar graph as it should do like shown in the diagram below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/0/c0b0b59824017f99b3851879a4da1a8935b237b5.png) Is there a way to set the graph for this index? I would have thought it comes by default but in this case it is not. Help would be much appreciated. Many thanks. ---

For reference what does the other index look like in discover? ---

Hi @defalt, Thank you for your response. The index that is not showing the graph is just blank at the top as shown: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/e/be6b6f594867b614e6aac70eea84463951e77416.png) ---

Just a stupid question and I am pretty sure you checked it but did you chose the right timescale and does your index contain data? If there is no data it should be blank. 🤔 ---

yes timescale is set to date like the others and yes index is ingesting data ---

Did you set a timefield? What does the index "mapping" look like in kibana? Anything unusual there? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/d/7df75a9055ef4aed66e33137608e0b7e14cb06e4.jpeg) ---

yeah this is what I got for the index ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/f/afd240f7f34bc8b3bb3a8643fb4aca7a315a0fb8.png) However I dont get to see the little blue time icon next to the @timestamp And mapping shows: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/a/5a6e201fa587b0c62f24af8ce7984bcf14570d3d.png) ---

hmmm...ideally we want to try and avoid that as this is a production environment and require to use the same index name. This index pattern timefield was already set as @timestamp Is there any other way to fix this? ---

A new index pattern just for testing shouldn't be a problem with your production environment. Its just so we can check if thats actually the problem or if its something else. ---

ahh bravo that seemed to work. Definitely something wrong with the old index I was hoping to refresh the index name in Management \> Kibana index but no joy. Very strange ---

Can't you change your production environment for a new index pattern? This would solve it as it works with this new pattern. ---
