Dears,

I have some odd problem with @timestamp field in my indices which include incorrect time i.e. minus two hours. Logstash should populate time to @timestamp from logs on the base of this:

```auto
if ("" in [hi.my_date]) {
  date {
  	match => ["hi.my_date", "YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS"]
  	timezonde => "Europe/Warsaw"
  	target => "@timestamp"
  }
}

```

What is wrong in my configuration? Is there anything I don't know about the @timestamp field?

Best Regards,  
Dan

@timestamp will be always stoted in UTC at Elasticsearch index level  
What's the issue ?

@ylasri ok, it is clear now for me. I didn't know about it.  
Where is it described in the Elasticsearch documentation? Could you give me some link to the Elasticsearch documentation which describe it, please? Thanks
