Hi ,

I also tried to put the time filter after the json filter (with and without target).  
I can see the new loaded index with the new record under the list of indexes in the ElasticSearch (using the command curl 'localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v') but I can't reach the data in the Kibana

filter{  
json {  
source =\> "message"  
}  
}

filter{  
date {  
match =\> ["startTime", "UNIX"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}  
}

The time is added automatically as the load time of the data into the ElasticSearch , I don't define in the conf file or in the Json file this field (It's also not part of the fields of the index\_client I create).  
I also tried the following things:

- to change the startTime in the Json file to string
- create 1 filter and put the data after the json  
It still doesn't work.

BR,  
Chen
