Kibana 5.1.2 was released a few days back . Current version of logtrail does not support it. Please use Kibana 5.1.1 for now. I will release a new version of logtrail supporting Kibana 5.1.2 soon. ---

Do you have an ETA? A week? Is there something I can change? PLEASE. I have already upgraded to 5.1.2 yesterday. Can you tell me how to install 5.1.1? I installed by updating sources.list and apt-get install kibana which pulled the latest version. ---

​You can unzip the tar.gz and update "kibana.version": "5.1.1" ​in package.json to "kibana.version": "5.1.2". Please note I have not tested logtrail against 5.1.2. ---

@sivasamyk On kibana UI, I see my local time, IST against the logs. I am using this conf { "es": { "default\_index": "logstash-_", "allow\_url\_parameter": true, "timezone": "Asia/Kolkata" }, "tail\_interval\_in\_seconds": 10, "max\_buckets": 500, "nested\_objects" : false, "default\_time\_range\_in\_days" : 2, "fields" : { "mapping" : { "timestamp" : "@timestamp", "display\_timestamp" : "@timestamp", "hostname" : "localhost", "program": "_", "message": "message" } } } I think I need to change display timestamp somehow or the timezone. Please help ---
