Timelion - Graphing from ML Index

[cosruss (Tom Russell)]

I'm getting a Kibana error trying to use a machine-learning index in Timelion, and in Visual Builder. It doesn't seem to like the '.' at the front of the index name. Has anybody else had this problem?

Steps to duplicate:
In Timelion, try graphing: .es(index=.ml-anomalies-shared)

Here's an example:

.es(index='.ml-anomalies-farequote', timefield='timestamp', metric='sum:event_count').label("count ML processed")

Thanks, Rich. I had tried single-quoting the index before, but got no data. I forgot that the ml indexes don't use @timestamp. Once I added the timefield parameter it worked.
