Timelion always brings back blank

[glifhits]

Hi all,
I am very new to elastic. I am trying to use Timelion to graph some data but timelion is always bringing back a blank no matter what see screenshot below:

However I know for a fact I have data in my database:

Has anyone had this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hrm, that's strange, you should be seeing the same count in Timelion, since you've selected the same time range and are searching all indices.

Do you have a lot of other indices in your cluster? Maybe Elasticsearch is truncating the results... perhaps try using .es(index="pattern-*"), where pattern-* is whatever index pattern you're using in Kibana.

I actually ended up finding the problem. In the Advanced config Timelion has it's own field that it looks for "@timestamp" my data wasn't filling that field. As soon as I populated the field it all worked!
