Hi there, Im stuck in the way that Elastic stores datetime fields. Im in GMT-3 and I need to enter the date in a way that kibana could present it right.
Currenlty Im using logstash to store some data in ES, and it stores in UTC while the date is in GMT-3.
Can I fix this using the date filter, in that case how? Could someone give me an example ?
Best regards!

Use the timezone option on the date filter to tell it which timezone the logs are in.

If you [search](https://discuss.elastic.co/search?q=date%20timezone%20category%3A14) the logstash forum there are dozens of examples.
