I want to change the date display format in kibana. Kibana provides this feature via moment.js, but not enough documentation available, or at least it doesn't work properly.enter image description here

Current date format: "MMMM Do YYYY, HH:mm:ss.SSS"
Required date format: "DD MMM YY" (like 29 July 17)

I tried changing the date format of the Date field in "Management" section, but that didn't work. (do I need to restart the server or something to make it work) Or Where am I going wrong Or What are some other ways to change date display format. and What does popularity of the field do here ?

Some screenshots for the reference.

As a solution, I had to fix it in the scripts feeding data to elasticsearch itself.

  • How did you fix it? Your answer needs more detail. – Grant Miller Jul 23 '18 at 02:30
  • So I have python scripts feeding data into elasticsearch. I changed the time format from unix time to above mentioned format and then pushed it to elasticsearch. It was not on the elasticsearch or kibana side. time.strftime("%d %b %Y", ts) – Pankaj Moolrajani Jul 23 '18 at 02:38
