> Kibana is converting times into UTC before sending them to ES. It's Logstash that sends data to ES. But yes, Logstash's date filter normalizes all timestamps to UTC. > 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. This was discussed a few days ago: > [@Is there any options for Kibana not to convert @timestamp from UTC to browser local timezone?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-there-any-options-for-kibana-not-to-convert-timestamp-from-utc-to-browser-local-timezone/29368): > > Continuing the discussion from [Kibana Timezone](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-timezone/29270/2): Is there any options for Kibana not to convert @timestamp from UTC to browser local timezone? --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-3-use-utc-everywhere/29796)._
