Hi,

I have found an issue when playing around with kibana. It is not showing all the data from elasticsearch.

Total docs in ES : 177,062  
Total docs in kibana : 176,818 (when clicking on discover tab)

Kibana date filter is set to Year to date.

I have tested some use cases for preventing this issue which are as below

1 - Changed the ES\_HEAP\_SIZE to 1g  
2 - In kibana : Reloaded the index pattern using the yellow button  
3 - Restarted ES and kibana  
4 - Deleted the index pattern from kibana and created a new one

None of these above worked for me.

My app is live and running locally and i have to deliver this before due date so please ElasticSearch Team help me out with this 😃

ES version : 1.6.0  
kibana version : 4.1.1

Thanks

How do you count the number of ES documents? Are you e.g. including the documents in the .kibana index, which Kibana won't show? Can you narrow down the different to a particular time interval, i.e. what if you pick a random month (or day) and compare the counts in Kibana and directly in ES?

Hi,

I count number of ES documents using head plugin. And yes i filtered data using kibana date filter from date 2015-11-07 till now and it gives me 502 docs in kibana and same as in ES using range query in head plugin (Any request tab)

One more thing i found, when i inserted new data into ES and refreshed kibana the count also updated in Kibana but its still not the same. i.e

ES docs count : 177,323  
kibana docs count : 177,079

And yeah i'm not supposing that i will get .kibana index data as i have created dashboards and visualizations on it which has only 9 docs which is so far good.

Where are these '244' docs left? 😄

Thanks

Keep in mind that Kibana uses the local timezone while the indexes in ES use UTC. If you are a few hours off that could easily account for the difference you're seeing.

Yeah probably this could be the issue.

Thanks
