Timelion not showing anything in kibana 5.1

[Harish_Kumar]

I have installed Kibana 5.1 and as per my understanding Timelion is installed by default, but when i go to timelion it shows nothing for me. I have indexes created on elasticsearch.

Could you please help me what is wrong and where should i check why it is not working.

I do get this error in ES

What is the name of the field you have in your documents for the timestamp?

Hi there,
I have the same problem. Kibana 5.1.2 on CentOS, ES and Logstash same versions. Datas come from a server (CentOS) with filebeat/metricbeat/packetbeat.
The "Timelion" page is white like Harish_Kumar. Not sure what you mean by "name of the field you have in your documents for the timestamp" : where do we need to look ? In the indices (metricbeat-* and others) there is always a field called "@timestamp".
Thanks for all suggestions.

[EDIT] In "advanced settings", timelion:es.timefield is set to "@timestamp"
