When parsing the date field from csv file it automatically converts to date time. I just want the date without any timestamp. How to write the code in logstash ?

One solution is to edit the field in kibana index as per your choice but I dont like that. There is date filter also but that also gives the timestamp and the timezone. Any help would be appreciated.
