Kibana 3 - use UTC everywhere

Elastic Stack Kibana

Kibana is converting times into UTC before sending them to ES.

Here is the custom date range:

ES query shows: "range": { "TakeoffTime": { "from": 1441541033725, "to": 1441660635743 } }

1441541033725 -> 2015-09-06 12:03:54

1441660635743 -> 2015-09-07 21:17:16

So what we can do to force Kibana use UTC across all panels? we don't want to deal with browser/local time at all.

It's Logstash that sends data to ES. But yes, Logstash's date filter normalizes all timestamps to UTC.

This was discussed a few days ago:

We are not using Logstash. When Kibana sends a request like below, it converts selected date into UTC. We are already storing dates in UTC in ES and we want to use all dates in Kibana as UTC.

Right, I didn't get that you were talking about the requests and not the data itself. Anyway, the issue reference I gave still applies.
