@miguel-sanchez-elastic I could only get this to work in ES|QL mode, not sure if there's a way in classic?

Yes, it only works in ES|QL mode, the user needs to go to Try ES|QL and type TS metrics-* or any other time series index.
Note: it also work with FROM instead of TS, but we want to avoid saying it, we need to focus on TS

Sounds good, I can update the FROM language. I wonder if we want to do the same on the Logs view for consistency.

TS is only for metrics, you can see more context here https://github.com/elastic/metrics-program/discussions/224
The summary is that FROM is for documents (Logs, etc) and TS is for metrics (Time series).
Some functionality that is specific for metrics only works when the data is time series hence the TS command.
Furthermore, when typing:
- TS space, only time series indixes appear
- FROM space, all indexes appear (at least for now) and there is a "UX enhancement" that if a user picks a time series indexes it automatically changes it to TS

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation!
