Hello Fellows,
I'm facing a strange situation with Kibana when dealing with datefields with just year and month (YYYY-MM).
The labels in a Chart our List are displaying a datefield with value 2015-07 as "June 30th 2015..." instead of "July 30th 2015..."
The image bellow shows this situation:
Anybody knows what may happening?
Thanks in advance!

Is the `Time` field something you added, or created by ES automatically?

It could be a TZ issue, are you ahead/behind of UTC?

I'm 3 hours behind utc

Could you paste in the full JSON document, and indicate which "date" type field is mapped as the primary time field?

So the Time field is usually based off the @timestamp field, unless you specified another date field in the index pattern. "Access Date" is not a full date field. What does your index pattern definition look like for this index?
