Hi everyone,
I am facing a issue that the event.created is always 8 hours later than the @timestamp and the timestamp is the current time which is correct. Below is the example.
| | Time | event.created | event.timezone |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Apr 15, 2021 @ 18:08:47.000 | Apr 16, 2021 @ 02:08:47.000 | +08:00 |
The environment I currently using is
Lab PA filewall -\> Filebeat -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch.
And the modules I am using is panw.
May I know how can I correct the timezone problem?

Elasticsearch stores data as UTC.
Kibana shows data based on your browsers TZ.
Is there a difference between those?

I tried to change the timezone in Kibana setting. Then both Time and event.created shift according to the timezone.

Are u using a module or just an input? Normally this is caused by filebeat/elasticsearch parsing a time that's not utc and parsing as utc so it's off by whatever the TZ offset is. Or is the time/timezone different between the filebeat host and elasticsearch server?
