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 [2017-01-05T17:32:36,201][DEBUG][o.e.a.a.i.m.p.TransportPutMappingAction] [Oz8ypUQ] failed to put mappings on indices [[ [.kibana/mY4jN40nS96uLNhRA7ioJw]]], type [timelion-sheet] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: mapper [hits] cannot be changed from type [long] to [integer] at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MappedFieldType.checkTypeName(MappedFieldType.java:146) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.1. jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MappedFieldType.checkCompatibility(MappedFieldType.java:158) ~[elasticsearch-5 .1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.FieldTypeLookup.checkCompatibility(FieldTypeLookup.java:128) ~[elasticsearch-5 .1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.FieldTypeLookup.copyAndAddAll(FieldTypeLookup.java:94) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.1.j ar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.merge(MapperService.java:330) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.merge(MapperService.java:283) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataMappingService$PutMappingExecutor.applyRequest(MetaDataMappingServ ice.java:313) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataMappingService$PutMappingExecutor.execute(MetaDataMappingService.j ava:232) ~[elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.ClusterService.runTasksForExecutor(ClusterService.java:581) [elasticsearch- 5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.ClusterService$UpdateTask.run(ClusterService.java:920) [elasticsearch-5.1.1 .jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.ThreadContext$ContextPreservingRunnable.run(ThreadContext.java:458) [elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.runAn dClean(PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:238) [elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.run(P rioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:201) [elasticsearch-5.1.1.jar:5.1.1] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) [?:1.8.0\_101] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) [?:1.8.0\_101] at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) [?:1.8.0\_101] ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/9/988975fc4412377db0189241f4b476831f8a69d8.PNG) ---

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" ---
