I have a time stamp field ( name is timestamp ) in my list of fields in Kibana index. I need to set a filter as below: Display all the transactions between 2015-11-23 10:11:23 and 2015-11-23 10:50:33 Please suggest what filter do I need to set in Kibana while designing my Search in discover tab Regards, Chinmoy das ---

Are you setting the time field in the index settings as the one in the in the doc you want to filter on? ---

My use case is as below: I am logging payment transaction data with the details as transaction id, amount, bank, status, timestamp. I have not specified and special setting for the timestamp field while creating the index. I need to filter the records based on a timestamp range. I could find some example where filtering is done by date, but could not trace anything for timestamp. Please suggest how this is possible to filter using timestamp using Kibana. ---

When you create the index pattern in KB, make sure you set the timestamp field to be the one in the document. Then it'll be simple. ---

The timestamp field is in the index. Can you please share the syntax of the query filter that I need to add in Kibana Discover? I am trying like timestamp: {2015-11-04 11:12:13 TO 2015-11-04 11:20:20}. But that is not working ---

Any pointer to the search syntax will be helpful. ---

just use `timestamp: ["2015-11-04T11:12:13" TO "2015-11-04T11:20:20"]` . But as @warkolm said, you should be specifying your index (in kibana settings) as a timestamped index. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/3/3f809d045f0b6602353138708c584bf86b25b6f5.png) Then you'll have a histogram at the top of the discover page and you can simply scrub the graph to filter on a timerange. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/3/3967cf0688b6ec2724527a7d19fa069e0f62cafb.png) And there will also be a "time selector" in the toolbar. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/f/f8b37ff2967b8c803da4a12a0c5aae43bc68ebac.png) ---
