Hi,

I'm pumping data into ElasticSearch (actually using rsyslog instead of 
logstash) into a date-based index with a mapping that stores the 
_timestamp.  When I go in with Kibana 4.0.1 and start setting it up, it 
sees the indexes, but the drop down where you select the time field name is 
empty and it will not let me create it.  Why is this?

I can create it if I uncheck the box that it's a time-based index and just 
enter 'vip*' for the name, but that is not what I want.  Below is the 
mapping.

The 'timestamp' field inside 'properties' is a textual field from syslog 
that is relatively useless for sorting, but it doesn't show up either. 
Thanks for any input!

$ curl http://elastic.domain.com:9200/vip-2015-03-09/_mappings?pretty=1
{
  "vip-2015-03-09" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "events" : {
        "_timestamp" : {
          "enabled" : true,
          "store" : true
        },
        "properties" : {
          "fac" : {
            "type" : "string"
          },
          "msg" : {
            "type" : "string"
          },
          "prog" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "store" : true
          },
          "severity" : {
            "type" : "string"
          },
          "source" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "store" : true
          },
          "tag" : {
            "type" : "string"
          },
          "timegenerated" : {
            "type" : "string"
          },
          "timestamp" : {
            "type" : "string"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
