The date in my logs looks like that:  
`[121019_032434068]` its mean `10 december 2019 15:24:34.068`  
I tried to parse it like that:  
`date { match => ["timestamp" , "YYYY-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS a"] timezone => "Europe/Moscow" }`  
or like that:  
`date { match => ["timestamp" , "YYYY-MM-dd kk:mm:ss.SSS"] timezone => "Europe/Moscow" }`  
But still date as `10 december 2019 03:24:34.068`, as night time. Pls, help

This does not seem related to Rally so might be under the wrong category.
