I am using a locally deployed elasticsearch and kibana. When I send data to an index with the current timestamp - in kibana it is displayed as being 5:30 hours ahead of the current time. I came to understand that this is because my current timezone is GMT+5:30. So since the logs are being sent 5:30…

[image] Hemabh_Ravee_Fox: I was only adding a 'Z' at the end of the time format, as I thought is the case for ISO format. The Z means UTC, to add a offset you use -/+00:00, in your case the +05:30.

Changing the timezone does not change how far the logs are from the current time

I was only adding a 'Z' at the end of the time format, as I thought is the case for ISO format. I removed the 'Z' and appended '+05:30' before indexing it and that has solved the problem for me. Thanks a lot!
Also adding this resource which helped me with the right format to use
