How can I use Elasticsearch data source if I do not have "Time field name"

Grafana Elasticsearch

Hey,
We use Kibana to index without “Time Filter field name” since we don’t have any field type date (we have the timestamp as a number) and it seems that since we don’t the time filter we get the error "No date field named timestamp found"anyway to get past this?

  • Our main goal for Grafana is to monitor the servers status (CPU, memory and network)

Grafana ver: 4.5.2
ElasticSearch ver: 5.5.1
Both have been installed using the Microsoft Azure Cloud Marketplace.

Hi,

You can still have the timestamp as a number, but you need to change the mapping to a date type to be able to use it in Grafana.

Please see the comment in this issue.
