Hi All,

Could you please help me out how to convert the unix timestamp into human readable .  
As i was trying .The issue is still in kibana which supports 13 digits , but as per my client requirement the unix timestamp has 16 digits(i.e 1454371140016977) .Here i have taken date as String but if i take date as timestamp it is throwing error.

Any help would be great for me..

Regards,  
Jagan

Hi Warklom, thanks for the reply.

I am using Cassandra(NOSQL) as the database from there i am sending the date column into ES.  
Timestamp as the datatype and dateofjoin is the fieldname.(I am using ES-river plugin).ES version is 1.4.5 & kibana is 4.1.1.

please update me.
