Convert EST to GMT using kibana script field

Elastic Stack Kibana
#1

I have a field of date type(in EST) and I want to convert this to GMT before subtracting from another field using kibana script.
below is the script field definition

doc['re.pdz.end'].value - doc['test.P_START_TIME'].value.getMillis()

I want to convert doc['test.P_START_TIME'] into GMT to get proper millisecond difference since doc['re.pdz.end'] is GMT(UTC) already.

thanks for the help.

I think you'll want to look at the painless API documentation. It looks like there is a class available for an instance of a date that is timezone-aware. You'll want to make a date instance for each field value, and use compareTo to get the time difference. Then add the difference before the subtraction.
