Dear Teams,  
I'm insert an index into the ES, the format just like that:

{  
"p2-2016.12.15" : {  
"mappings" : {  
"applog" : {  
"properties" : {  
"appName" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column1" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column10" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column11" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column12" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column13" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column14" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column15" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column16" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column2" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column3" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column4" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column5" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column6" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column7" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column8" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"column9" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"ip" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"logPath" : {  
"type" : "string"  
},  
"logType" : {  
"type" : "string"  
}  
}

hi @lester015,

thanks for your question.

in that form when you create the index patter, uncheck that text-box that says "Index contains time-based events". That will do it.
