I am trying to get some temperature values from a SQL database, the problem I have is that easy chart does not recognize the timestamp of the table, it tells me that the data type is not a date type. what I see is that the timestamp of the table is in integer format and the easy chart needs a date format. Is there any solution for this?

Database are you using, MySQL, MSSQL, etc. and can you show the configuration for the timestamp field? That looks like epoch time, which can be converted.
