Hi,

I have a CSV, and the field TIME have this format [12/May/2017:00:00:00 -0300].

[12/May/2017:00:00:00 -0300]|Belo Horizonte|MG  
[12/May/2017:01:00:00 -0300]|São Paulo|SP  
[12/May/2017:02:00:00 -0300]|Rio de Janeiro|RJ

How can I convert these field to a timestamp?

My Conf filters:

filter {  
csv {  
columns =\> [  
"Time",  
"City",  
"UF",  
]  
separator =\> "|"  
}

date {  
match =\> ["Time" , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}

You are missing the TZ part in your match.

I have setted Z or Z in the match and the problema persists...

Can you check my sintax?

date {  
match =\> ["Time" , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
}
