My Logstash config file :

input {  
file {  
path =\> "C:\Users\dantusga\Desktop\ganga.csv"  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/dev/null"  
}  
}

filter {  
csv {  
separator =\> ","  
columns =\> ["emp\_id","E\_NAME","DEPT","Designation","Salary","Gender","LOB","DOB"]  
}

date {  
match =\> ["DOB", "yyyy-MM-dd"]  
target =\> ["DOB"]  
}  
if [emp\_id] == "emp\_id" {  
drop { }  
}

}

output {  
elasticsearch {  
action =\> "index"   
hosts =\> "localhost"

```
 index => "logstash-test1-"

```

}  
stdout {}

Hi @Gangadhar_dantusetty,

Kibi is a fork of Kibana so its possible its creators have changed some functionality from Kibana. Still, what you are describing _looks_ like vanilla Kibana functionality so lets see if we can figure it out here.

> It is working fine(able to visualize ) without using date filter

Referring to the last screenshot, you are actually asking Kibana/Elastisearch to _aggregate_ (group by) the DOB field, not _filter_ by it.

Are you saying that if you aggregate by another field, results are being shown on the right?

> But it is considering DOB field as string. But I want DOB as date.

Hmmm... that is odd, especially since in the 2nd screenshot DOB is shown as a date. Referring to the 3rd screenshot, could you expand the Field drop down and paste a screenshot of that here, showing the DOB field in the list?

Thanks.
