Hi,  
I have **elasticsearch** running on one instance, logstash and kibana together on another separate instance with UTC timezone, so **ilm** and **slm** policy is running according to the **UTC** timezone. If I change the both server timezone to **IST** , will the **ilm** and **slm** policy run according to **IST** timezone.

Also if I change the timezone for both server from UTC to IST, will it create any issue for already running setup.
