Dear all, I am not sure if this belongs to logstash... please correct me if not. I have some data that contains a field which is a time series, of interval 60sec. Should I map it into a single ES document, or should I expand it as a whole index, or is there any field types in ES to deal with this? Any hints or help would be appreciated. 🙂 An entry looks something like this: `... , timestamp, ... , 'loss': [-1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...], 'latency': [-1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...]` ---

If there is a single timestamp in the doc, then treat it as a single event. Even if it spans an interval of time. ---
