ElasticSearch mapping dates

Question

First time using ElasticSearch, I'm having trouble indexing a document due to the mapping of dates.

in my DB dates are DATETIME and look like this 2014-02-04 14:04:39. I'm trying to parse this in ElasticSearch but it's telling me that

[Invalid format: \"2014-02-04 14:04:39\" is malformed at \" 14:04:39\"]

I've tried setting the format quite a few different ways:

'date_added' => array(
        'type' => 'date',
        'format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'
        )

and also like this:

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss

yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZZ

What is the correct format for this?

Did you check if your mapping was successful? Did you apply the mapping before inserting any data? — Thorsten

In mapping, configure the field to date and also the format you need.. For syntax refer

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-core-types.html#date

The date format that are supported by elasticsearch refer the following link..

thanks for those, I had looked at them but I don't see what is wrong with my format that I've tried. But obviously it is wrong, but I don't know what the correct format should be.

I changed my format to 'format' => 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss' and this worked for me.
