i am new to cloud elastic. i am following this step [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.3/filebeat-index-pattern.html#filebeat-index-pattern](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/5.3/filebeat-index-pattern.html#filebeat-index-pattern) after doing the import\_dashboards -only-index -es [http://93bb827b4a16fa433486bd5a2de84b12.eu-west-1.aws.found.io:9200](http://93bb827b4a16fa433486bd5a2de84b12.eu-west-1.aws.found.io:9200) -user elastic -pass xxxxxxxxxxxx -beat filebeat filebeat-\* is appearing in my kibana discover page but it has no results found ☹ do i need to match the timestamp format in the template filebeat.json and timestamp format in my log? ---

You don't have to match the timestamp format, although implicit timezones can skew results.. Beyond making sure a timezone is specified that should be fine. A good starting point would be to make sure filebeat documents are being indexed. Does a GET on [http://your-es-instance:9200/filebeat-\*/\_search](http://your-es-instance:9200/filebeat-*/_search) show any documents? If there are documents, then I would take a closer look at timestamps. The time picker in kibana's top right corner will default to the last 15 minutes, and this time range may need to be expanded. ---
