TIME and Time are different fields, as are date\_object and @date\_object. Joda does [not agree](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/replace-the-timestamp-with-actual-time-during-a-bulk-filebeat-send/269882/4) that that time format matches an ISO8601 pattern. Try

```
   date { match => ["Time", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ"] target => "date_object" }
    ruby {
        code => '
            t = Time.at(event.get("date_object").to_f)
            event.set("Time1", t.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
        '
    }
```
