Organizing data for Elasticsearch and Kibana

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
6

I mean you need a field in your document containing a timestamp.

When you mention timestamp in my docs, Do you mean that I actually replace
the Elasticsearch 'index' with timestamp. If yes is there a python library
perhaps that does that for me?

KB reads data from Elasticsearch, so yeah an index is the same thing for
both.

Basically you either need a timestamp in your docs to use KB3, or move to
KB4.

I have inserted some data into Elasticsearch using REST interface.An
example is shown below.

curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/metrics/" -d @$file
curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/aaaaaaa/" -d @$file
curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/bbbbbbb/" -d @$file
curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/ccccccc/" -d @$file
curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/ddddddd/" -d @$file

I basically insert 5 object types which are

metrics
aaaaaaa
bbbbbbb
ccccccc
ddddddd

All these object types are inserted into the same index bits. The data
is inserted at regular intervals of say 30 mins, Meaning I add a set of
JSON document every 30 mins to each of the above five types. However only
on of my object type's have timestamp as a part of JSON data. I am using
elasticsearch 1.4 and Kibana 3. I can't seem to sepcify the index for the
Kibana dashboard. It does expect a timestamp value.

Because of this I suspect I am limited in the kinds of graphs that I can
plot.I would like to plot dual axis graphs and some time series data.Is
this correct assumption?

Is the index that Kibana is looking for the same as the index in
elasticsearch. In other words Should I rather use the timestamp value (of
when I load the data into elasticsearch) as the elasticsearch rather than
some constant value like bits used in the above example.

As my data does not have the timestamp inherently, What format should my
timestamp (that I am supposed to use as the index have, If I should)
