Timelion shows 0 count

[viswadeep (Hari Viswadeep)]

Hi,

I am trying to create a timelion in Kibana 4.5.

.es(logstash*) shows zero count. What will be the issue?

Do I need to change any settings?

[ppisljar (Peter Pisljar)]

the syntax is wrong

.es(query) ... so something like .es(*) should work
if you want to query specific index you need to pass it in as second parameter:
.es(*, index=logstash-*)

Thank You.

Finally fixed the issue. Used the syntax you mentioned & added 'timefield'.

[ppisljar (Peter Pisljar)]

right, if your timefield is not @timestamp (which is set as default) you'll need to set that as well.
.es(*, index=logstash-*, timefield=timestamp, metric=sum:bytes)
