#### Post date: [November 12, 2013, 8:22am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/where-is-the-timestamp-or-where-is-the-problem-on-my-mapping-definition--timestamp/14361/1 "2013-11-12T08:22:49Z")
I define a new mapping to try this option... but the timestamp its not
saved atomatically with the post of the document
My mapping definition :
curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/indice/tweet/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/indice/tweet/_mapping)" -d'
{
"tweet": {
"properties": {
"message": {
"type": "string"
},
"user": {
"type": "string"
},
"post\_date": {
"type": "date"
}
},
"\_timestamp" :
{
"enabled":true,
"store": "yes",
"path" : "post\_date",
"format" : "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
}
}
}'
* * *
When i store a document i supose that this timestamp its going to be stored
with the elasticsearch server date-time
## curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/indice/tweet/1](http://localhost:9200/indice/tweet/1)" -d' { "tweet": { "message" :"Prueba alta", "user" : "Pablo" } }'
But nothing of this...... why????
curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/indice/tweet/1](http://localhost:9200/indice/tweet/1)"
{
"\_index": "indice",
"\_type": "tweet",
"\_id": "1",
"\_version": 5,
"exists": true,
"\_source": {
"tweet": {
"message": "Prueba alta",
"user": "Pablo"
}
}
}
Thanks

Elasticsearch never modifies your \_source document.
That's the reason you don't have an updated document when you GET it.
But, you can search for it and as you stored the timestamp field, you probably can get it using field=\_timestamp
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-fields.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-fields.html)
{
"fields" : ["\_source", "\_timestamp"]
}
Makes sense?
