Hi,

Am having a problem displaying data. Logstash is receiving logs at 11:44 am but it is displayed as 14:44 (3hrs later - UTC)

Example:

Syslog: Oct 03 11:44:13 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX new log  
Logstash @timestamp is 11:44:13 but it is displayed as 14:44:13

How do i fix this?

Sorry,

Fixed it using the following:

```
   date {
    match => ["time", "yyyy/M/dd HH:mm:ss"]
    timezone => "America/Los_Angeles"
    target => "@timestamp"
  }
```
