I want change the timezone of Logstash console output (logs) to my localtime.
Example:
[WARN] 2020-01-28 18:30:06.611 [Ruby-0-Thread-15: /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/logstash-output-elasticsearch-10.2.1-java/lib/logstash/outputs/elasticsearch/http\_client/pool.rb:241] eticsearch - Restored connection to ES instance {:url=\>"[http://elastic:xxxxxx@haproxy:8080/](http://elastic:xxxxxx@haproxy:8080/)"}
My localtime: 2020-01-28 16:30:06.611

I haven't tried it, but [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1785725/specify-time-zone-of-log4js-date) might work.
