I am trying to add the logstash ingest time to my logs and facing the issues where Kibana display the time with 7 hours off. Example see below:

Current time at my location is 10/15/2018 14:03  
This is what Kibana shows:

This is the time in the JSON tab of the document  
"fields": {  
"logstash\_time": [  
"2018-10-15T14:03:51.000Z"  
],  
"@timestamp": [  
"2018-10-15T19:03:49.654Z"  
],  
"@ingest\_Time": [  
"2018-10-15T14:03:51.000Z"  
]  
},

Expected results:

"fields": {  
"logstash\_time": [  
"2018-10-15T **19** :03:51.000Z"  
],  
"@timestamp": [  
"2018-10-15T19:03:49.654Z"  
],  
"@ingest\_Time": [  
"2018-10- **19** T14:03:51.000Z"  
]  
},

My Logstash code for this :

```
  ruby {  
          code => "event.set('logstash_time' , Time.now.strftime('%FT%TZ'))"
        }
  date {
    match => ["logstash_time", "ISO8601"]
    timezone => "America/Chicago"
    target => "@ingest_Time"
  }

```

How can I remove the 7 hours difference? I tried changing format in the kibana setting--\> advanced setting --\> dateFormat:tz with no luck  
As you can see that I use Date timezone filter and it doesnt work as well.  
I think a line of ruby code might fix it but I have no idea how. Please help!
