I am trying to parse the date with different timezone, but I get the "Failed parsing date from field".  
I dont know where I go wrong.  
Here are the conf I use:  
filter{  
date{  
match =\> [" **eventTime**", "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SS" , "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" , "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZ", "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZZ"]  
add\_tag =\> ["date\_filter"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}  
}

The dates in **eventTime** field to be matched are:  
2015/12/15 05:05:9.957 , 2015/12/15 05:05:9.393040 +00:00 , 2015/12/15 05:05:9.393040 +0530

2015/12/15 05:05:9.957 =\> yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS **you already have this one**

2015/12/15 05:05:9.393040 +00:00 =\> yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:s.SSSSSS ZZ because

- seconds without leading zero =\> **single s**
- **space between time and timezone**
- **ZZ** because of timezone use the ':' separator

2015/12/15 05:05:9.393040 +0530 =\> yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:s.SSSSSS Z because

- seconds without leading zero =\> **single s**
- **space between time and timezone**
- **Z** because of timezone use the simple form without ':' separator
