I believe what you're asking is how to update the @timestamp to the date time your error occurred. The reason you have multiple timestamp is because you declared a timestamp variable.

Take a look at the discussion below:

Output { "path" =\> "/tmp/time.data", "@timestamp" =\> 2017-03-24T09:01:43.541Z, "@version" =\> "1", "host" =\> "JImmys-MacBook-Pro.local", "message" =\> "2017-03-24T09:01:43.541", "type" =\> "apache-access", "event\_timestamp" =\> "2017-03-24T09:01:43.541Z" }
