Hi My messages has a field call propertytime, How can I extract messages between 2 timestamps? i.e. propertytime between "2015-09-10T17:00:00.001Z" and "2015-09-10T20:00:001Z" Thanks ---

Use a [range filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/query-dsl-range-filter.html) or a [range query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/query-dsl-range-query.html). ---

I have ISO 8601 format or epoch time format. How do I set the range using each? Looks like I have to use "basic\_date\_time" ? ---
