I am installing elastalert (version :0.1.33) on the linux (7.5) server where my elasticsearch(6.4) is also installed. I am not able to send the alert messages at the real time. My timezone is UTC+5.30 and elastalert send the alert messages with the timezone UTC 0.  
Please provide the solution.

Are you using Docker to run it? If so, please try our latest version where the [timezone issue](https://github.com/bitsensor/elastalert/issues/33) should be fixed.

(Also if you have problems with ElastAlert in the future please open an issue [here](https://github.com/bitsensor/elastalert/issues). This forum is not really the right place for ElastAlert support.)
