Hi, @magnusbaeck. I having problems with output beats, because output beats `doesn't match with my local times`. **Example output from metricbeat** > 2017-07-17T03:52:38.878Z And my **local times**. > 2017-07-17, 10.52 `Can I use logstash to transform output beats ?` thanks ---

What timezone are you in/is your system set to? > [@Thanadol\_Thadasade](#): > > Hi, @magnusbaeck. Please don't ping people like that. While I am sure Magnus is happy to help, he volunteers his time and is not here to be summoned. ---

In that case the timestamps you are seeing are correct. That's UTC+7 as it suggests. ---

Can I convert @timestamp match with timestamp ? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/2/628e896bbb55fd1f97b02f45612d5f887e65aa3e.png) thanks. ---

No as the Elastic Stack (beats, logstash, elasticsearch) all use UTC. Kibana then translates that to the browser timezone when you look at the data. ---

I know beats, logstash, elasticsearch all use UTC, but what i want to know is **@timestamp field** `can change to show my local times` ? thanks. ---

> [@warkolm](#): > > Kibana then translates that to the browser timezone when you look at the data. Convert from local time to UTC at ingest time. I wrote a blog about doing this with an ingest pipeline here: [Converting local time to ISO 8601 time in Elasticsearch](https://alexmarquardt.com/2019/10/16/converting-local-time-to-iso-8601-time-in-elasticsearch/)
