Would like to get advise from all expert. Currently I`m working on a project. But having issue on @Timestamp that generated by Kibana is event\_timestamp which expected the timestamp grab from log which example as below  
210113.142508.132 : db:  
210113.142508.132 : db:[root]

Is there a way to replace @Timestamp based on log`s DATE/TIME?

Did you look into ingest node pipeline configuration? You can orchestrate Elasticsearch on how should it parse your logs.

But the structure I used is as picture displayed which thru Logstash. Ingest node pipeline config is not an ideal solution right? Or should I just do the filtering via Logstash config?
