Really appreciate any help. > Thanks ---

"January 20th 2018, 11:55:46.000" is just Kibana's way of displaying the time. After using the date filter your time is handled as a Timestamp object and the way it looks depends on the software. If you have a look at the JSON of your events, you'll see a different format. ---
