Hello, i have a field called "timestamp" (i already triyed with another name) the content im getting with dissect its like this:  
08/08/2018 17:02:39  
This would be like  
dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss  
im triyed with this date + match and its seams not to work  
date { match =\> ["timestamp", "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"] }.

Still im getting a different @TimeStamp than my "timestamp" content field.

Does anyone know what am i doing brong?

You may need to tell logstash what [timezone](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-date.html#plugins-filters-date-timezone) the timestamp field is in.
