In Logstash config file i renamed received to a completely new field i.e created  
where the format of received field is eg 2019-04-23 13:35:46  
received is IST format and my kibana is UTC format  
rename =\> ["received", "created"]  
and  
in date plugin in logstash i applied  
date {  
match =\> ["created", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"]  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}

Than the query would run in IST or UTC format for created field?  
2. IF I change my kibana timezone than created field time is also getting changed  
3. Can someone suggest me whether I am right or wrong

elasticsearch always stores dates in UTC. By default, Kibana will display dates in the browser's time zone, but this can be changed in the [advanced settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html) page using dateFormat:tz.
