Hi, I have created a dummy index. The documents have one of fields as “timegenerated”. The timegenerated is of 2 days prior. Eg if today is 13 sept. Timegenerated is 11 sept. Time stamp is from 00:00 to 23:59. So I got a complete day’s data. I have created visualisation with x axis as the timegenerated per min. I do see the data in the visualization but when I want to refresh it to today. It doesn’t . I expected that the visualization goes blank but that doesn’t happen. I just can see the whole 1 day visualization. Ps: visualization type is line Kibana version 6.2.4 ---

Did you consider changing the time interval for the visualization? Basic thing, but just in case. ---

Hello Ridwan, Did you set the visualization to auto-refresh? It's likely off by default: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/autorefresh.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/autorefresh.html) Regards, Aaron ---

Yes . I have set it on . And infact I do see it refreshing after the set interval but there isn’t change in the graph. Btw, this isn’t an issue with auto refresh. When I set the intervals from say last 1 hr . So I expect that the graph should populate likewise (ie in my case -blank) but that doesn’t happen. Rather i see I see the graph populated with the data whose timegenerated is 2 days prior from today. ---

Yes I have tried time intervals and that is what’s not working . ---

Well, the issue was that i created the index-pattern thru api and did not set the timeFieldName. hence the index was not "time-based events" . recreated the index-pattern with timeFieldName set to the appropriate field. working as per expectation ! ---
