Hi,

When looking at the Discover tab, I correctly see the count of entries from an index called "user-satisfaction-\*" (see below)

However, when I try to create a chart using Timelion with the following logic, I get a count of 0:  
**.es(index='user-satisfaction-\*')**

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks,  
Geoffrey

What's the name of your timestamp field? By default timelion will assume `@timestamp` (instead of the one configured in your index pattern) so that could be the issue if you use a different name.

Thanks @Bargs, that solves my issue. My timestamp field is "date" and I had to specify that in my timelion query
