Hi,

I have a filed called "start\_time" of map

```
  "start_time": {
      "type": "date",
      "format": "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss||yyyy/MM/dd||epoch_millis"
    }

```

Example values:  
2018/11/22 12:43:09  
2019/01/31 15:40:50

How do I write a kibana query to show all on the certain date?

Values of this field can be different than document received date so time picker can't help.

What version of Kibana are you using?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "Values of this field can be different than document received date"

Have you tried clicking the "Add a filter +" link under the search box? This should allow you to choose the field and select a date range.
