Not really sure where this goes but it isn't getting any bites in the Logstash forums so...

I have a field that tracks when a ticket was created, `sys_created_on`. The time is in local timezone, -05:00 currently. I have the following logstash config:

```auto
  date {
    match => ["sys_created_on", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"]
    timezone => "America/Chicago"
  }

```

In Kibana, I am using the `@timestamp` field as the time field. When events come up in Kibana, they show a time that is five hours in the future. When I look at the JSON data, it is showing a timestamp 10 hours in the future. What the hell am I doing wrong??

Hello,

I do think this belongs in the Logstash forum so I'll move it back over, but I did find this similar issue which may help!

Is sys\_created\_on a string? Also, what does your input look like? I am wondering if you are fetching from a DB and the input is doing the conversion to the local timezone or something like that.

http\_poller pulls from an API endpoint that delivers the data in a json formatted document. The value is a string in the json and is local time.
