Hi everybody,
Before everything, I´m sorry for my bad english. I´ll try to be clear and brief.
I´ve already tried changing my timezone, but I didn't succeed.
I changed the timezone on "Advanced Settings", "dateFormat:tz" like you can see below.
This is my computer local date, right now
But in Kibana when I insert the date "22/08/2017 09:00:00", it´s showing me
What am I forgetting?
Thank you for your attention

Hello Mikhael,
I think it's specific of your date field in your document. Can you paste the JSON view of this doc ?
But to be sure : when you "insert the date", you mean that you choose a time range with the Time-picker (image) ?
Except error, Elasticsearch works only with UTC time and Kibana manage itself the documents date you watch to adapt with your timezone.

Hello MH,
I expressed myself very badly, sorry.
When I said "insert the date" I was saying when I add a document into ElasticSearch how you can see below.
PUT date-test/person/1
{
"date": "22/08/2017 09:00:00"
}
And this my mapping.
PUT date-test
{
"mappings": {
"person": {
"\_all": { "enabled": false },
"properties": {
"date": {"type": "date", "format": "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss"}
}
}
}
}
Thank you for replying

Hi,
No problem, not the only one 🙂
With the fact that elasticsearch works and index doc with UTC timezone, you have to specify in your logstash pipeline, in date plugin, the timezone of your "date" field ; here seem Brazil BRT (UTC +3, no DST).
Try to specify the [timezone](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-date.html#plugins-filters-date-timezone) option.

Hi MH,
I understand what you said. But I just doing a prototype, for this reason I've tried add my document by Sense plugin or Kibana Dev Tools.
In the final version I will use Java API to loading my data.
Is the problem in my Kibana configuration? I say it because, take a look in my data when I use Kibana Dev Tools.
It's the way that I would expect, in Discover tab.
Thank you for replying

Hi everybody,
I found a solution. But , I'm not sure If it's the best alternative to me.
What did I do?
I changed the dateFormat:tz in the Kibana to UTC. After did it, my Kibana has worked well.
Thanks for all attention

Hi again everybody,
I'm sorry for posting again here, but I need to help again. I thought that I found a solution, but I was wrong.
The problem is not solved. I will print what I'm doing step by step.
FIrst, it is my mapping and how I add my document
This is Kibana view,
When I change to last 15 minutes
TimeZone:
And the time in my computer
What am I forgetting?
And I'm sorry for my bad english again.
Thank you
