hi
my elastic contains this data
{
"ReportTime": "2015-10-06T16:34:38.568Z",
"SessionId": "RYo80Y6Yj4",
"UserId": "testKibana",
"Message": " OTP Project - Login Event - WiFiCustomer Login - Success",
"timestamp": "2015-10-06T16:34:38.568Z"
}
when i view the same data on kibana
the timestamp or the ReportTime the date displayed is October 6th 2015, 22:04:38.568 it adds +530 hours we are not sure why this is happening.
can anyone guide us on the same.

Kibana displays timestamps in local time. Your timestamps are 16:34 UTC which is 22:04 in your local timezone. This behavior is currently not configurable. There's a GitHub issue that you can track. Last time I looked I think a fix was scheduled for Kibana 4.4.
Since you'll have the `@timestamp` field anyway you might as well delete the `timestamp` field. And what's the difference between `timestamp` and `ReportTime`? In your example they're exactly the same. Will they ever differ?

thanks magnus,
the timestamp field was just a test field we r not using it. thanks for the update.
currently as a work around while sending the date to elastic we are adding +530 to the report time field to solve the above issue.
