Kibana doesn't show any results in "Discover" tab

I setup elasticsearch and Kibana for indexing our application (error) logs. The issue is that Kibana doesn't display any data in the "Discover" tab.

Current situation

  • Elasticsearch is up and running, responds to API
  • executing a query directly on Elasticsearch like http://elasticserver.com:9200/applogs/_search?q=* returns lots of results (see below on how a single found record looks like)
  • Kibana is up and running, even finds the applogs index exposed by Elasticsearch
  • Kibana also shows the correct properties and data type of the applogs documents
  • "Discover" tab doesn't show any results...even when setting the time period to a couple of years...

Any ideas??

Here's how Kibana sees the applogs index:

Elastic search query result object looks like this:

{
_index: "applogs",
_type: "1",
_id: "AUxv8uxX6xaLDVAP5Zud",
_score: 1,
_source: {
   appUid: "esb.Idman_v4.getPerson",
   level: "trace",
   message: "WS stopwatch is at 111ms.",
   detail: "",
   url: "",
   user: "bla bla bla",
   additionalInfo: "some more info",
   timestamp: "2015-03-31T15:08:49"
 }
},

..and what I see in the discover tab:

For people who have a problem like this:

Change time frame in top right corner.

By default it shows data only for last 15 min.
