Hi  
I have running a server with filebeat to parse all linux centos log files.

My filebeat.yml be default:

filebeat.inputs:

> - type: log  
> enabled: true  
> paths:
> - /var/log/\*.log  
> document\_type: syslog
> 
> Output direct to elasticsearch:9200

Until here everything works fine, but I have a problem with @timestamp

Filebeat parse the log with timestamp UTC  
We use here America/Sao\_Paulo, the diference from UTC.

is possible to parse the logs with filebeat using timezone America/Sao\_Paulo.  
Actuality I have a delay of 3 hours to see the information parse logs.

Some can help me!  
thanks
