IllegalArgumentException-Invalid format: \"now\"

[Rajeshkumar123]

I have exported Kibana dashboards and visualization from one server and I have imported that dashboards and visualizations to another server successfully. When I try to save the dashboard with "store time with dashboard". I am getting below error. I am not sure where it is going wrong.

Dashboard: Request to Elasticsearch failed: "RemoteTransportException[[xxx.xxx.xxx][inet[/xxx.xxx.xxx]][indices:data/write/index]]; nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse [timeTo]]; nested: MapperParsingException[failed to parse date field [now], tried both date format [dateOptionalTime], and timestamp number with locale []]; nested: IllegalArgumentException[Invalid format: "now"];

What version is this? Pretty sure this was fixed here: #4509

I am using Kibana 4.1.0.

This was fixed in 4.2.0

I'm experiencing this error. Using Version: 5.1.1 :
