I have these 2 cells the first is Day which was converted fine using the date filter but the HOUR column is appearing as a random date time stamp with no hours

my logstash date config:

date {  
match =\> ["DAY", "M/d/yyyy", "M/dd/yyyy", "MM/d/yyyy", "MM/dd/yyyy"]  
target =\> "DAY"  
locale =\> "en"  
timezone =\> "UTC"

}  
date {  
match =\> ["HOUR", "H"]  
target =\> "HOUR"  
locale =\> "en"  
timezone =\> "UTC"

}  
how the hour appearing on elastic search  
"HOUR" : "2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",  
I want the hour column to appear as hours of each day

```
ruby { code => 'event.set("HOUR", LogStash::Timestamp.new(event.get("DAY")+ 3600 * event.get("HOUR")))' }

```

Error handling is left as an exercise for the reader.
