I wonder some of my indices show datetime filter in KQL kibana, some not. Could someone please guide me, any setting in kibana or elastic to show datetime filter?

Hi and welcome to our community

When dataview/indexpattern are created, you can assign a timefield. this determines if the date time filter is displayed:
