I have inserted some data into elastic search using REST interface.An 
example is shown below.

    curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/metrics/"; -d @$file
    curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/aaaaaaa/"; -d @$file
    curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/bbbbbbb/"; -d @$file
    curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/ccccccc/"; -d @$file
    curl -XPOST "http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:9200/bits/ddddddd/"; -d @$file

I basically insert `5` object types which are 

    metrics
    aaaaaaa
    bbbbbbb
    ccccccc
    ddddddd

All these object types are inserted into the same index `bits`. The data is 
inserted at regular intervals of say 30 mins, Meaning I add a set of JSON 
document every 30 mins to each of the above five types. However only on of 
my object type's have `timestamp` as a part of JSON data.  I am using 
elasticsearch 1.4 and Kibana 3. I can't seem to sepcify the `index` for the 
Kibana dashboard. It does expect a timestamp value.

Because of this I suspect I am limited in the kinds of graphs that I can 
plot.I would like to plot dual axis graphs and some time series data.Is 
this correct assumption?

Is the `index` that Kibana is looking for the same as the `index` in 
elasticsearch. In other words Should I rather use the timestamp value (of 
when I load the data into elasticsearch) as the elasticsearch rather than 
some constant value like `bits` used in the above example.

As my data does not have the timestamp inherently, What format should my 
timestamp (that I am supposed to use as the `index` have, If I should)
