Hi all,

I have a strange problem. Basically, when I run Kibana Server, its server time and my PC's local time doesn't match. The problem has started appearing recently -- _not sure but maybe, just after daylight saving time 2017 in the UK last weekend_.

I realised that after seeing my documents stored at wrong timestamp via Kibana. When I search them directly through ES APIs, timestamp looks correct. However, in Kabana, timestamp looks one hour ahead. For example, a document stored at 09:00.00 looks 10:00:00. Therefore, you cannot retrieve it using "last 15 minutes" pre-defined time range.

I have checked **Kibana** -\> **Advanced Settings** -\> **dateFormat:tz** (Default: Browser)

I replaced the default value (Browser) with "_UCT_", and this allowed me to see the correct timestamp at Kibana. But, the time range feature (e.g. discover data 'last 15 minutes' etc.) still doesn't work. Also, I don't understand why I should play with advanced settings. Because everything was perfect by default values before.

Note: I tried and reproduced the same problem using both ES/Kibana 5.2.0 and 5.3.0

This sounds like a serious bug, would you please report it to the Github Issue Tracker? [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
