The kibana is not showing the actual time of log. It's delayed by a few milliseconds (at least 500ms) when compared to the actual timestamp of the log on the server. One of the [discussions](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/time-field-not-showing-correct-timestamp-in-kibana-logs/216781/2) mentioned the use of **@logtimestamp** instead of **@timestamp** when creating index patterns, but I don't find that option while creating the index pattern.
Please help.
Thanks

> the actual time of log
Where is the actual time of the log stored in your log message? Are you sure it is in a `@timestamp` field or is it somewhere else?
How do you ingest data?
What is probably happening is that you either set or override `@timestamp` field during ingestion
