You can specify the time zone as part of the string if you set it yourself (instead of the Z that indicates UTC), but it will be converted and stored as UTC internally anyway. The _ingest.timestamp field is as far as I know always in UTC. If you want it to be anything else I believe you will need to change it after it has been assigned to your field.
