I have date from logs in below format:

2018-10-06 04:25:43 EDT here the timezone could change to SGT or something else as we have global presence of servers being quieries by filebeat.

How do I use date filter to handle this ?

i used grok to extract the field and change it to joda time -5:00

however I cant do that for every timezone. Is there a way to do dynamically ?
