I have uploaded many time doc to elasticseatch without specify the mapping without any problem, instead this time I need to map the fields in order to set the format of my timestamp field.

When I launch the script it seems to run without problems but at the end I can't find any documents uploaded at the index in elasticsearch.

Here my script

```
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

```

import json

es= Elasticsearch()

INDEX\_NAME = 'technogym\_error\_time'  
TYPE\_NAME = 'technogym\_error\_time'  
ID\_FIELD = 'id'

bulk\_data =

with open("C:/Users/Filippo-Leoncini/Documents/Lavoro/IBM/Technogym/Dashboard/dati/dati\_partenza/dati\_nuovi/20170515 11.42RetrainExtraction") as data\_file:  
data =json.load(data\_file)

for i in data["rows"]:  
document\_id = i["id"]  
time\_stamp = i["doc"]["timestamp"][5:-4]  
error = i["doc"]['review\_reason']  
node\_list=({"timestamp": time\_stamp.encode('utf-8'),"document\_id": document\_id.encode('utf-8'),"error":error.encode('utf-8')})  
op\_dict = {  
"index": {  
"\_index": INDEX\_NAME,  
"\_type": TYPE\_NAME,  
"\_id": document\_id  
}  
}  
bulk\_data.append(op\_dict)  
bulk\_data.append(node\_list)

settings = {  
"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 1,  
"number\_of\_replicas": 0  
},  
"mappings": {  
"technogym\_error\_time": {  
"properties": {  
"timestamp":{  
"type":"date",  
"format":"dd MM YYYY HH:mm:ss"  
},  
"error":{  
"type":"string"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

es.indices.create(index= INDEX\_NAME, body=settings)  
es.bulk(body= bulk\_data, index = INDEX\_NAME, doc\_type = TYPE\_NAME)

Here a screenshot of my elasticsearch indices

And here is what I get on Kibana
