Hi,

filebeat.yml

Code -

filebeat.inputs:

- type: log  
paths:

This is my code as filter .conf file

date {  
match =\> ["log\_timestamp" , "yyyyMMdd HHmmss.SSSSSS"]  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
#timezone =\> "%{[fields][timeZone]}"  
#timezone =\> "%{[field][timeZone]}"  
#add\_field =\> { "debug" =\> "debugTimestampMatched"}  
add\_field =\> { "timezone\_value" =\> "%{[fields][timeZone]}"}  
}

Now my issue is how to provide timezone value in date filter of timeZone value coming from filebeat.  
timeZone value is either "UTC" or "IST" or "EST" only.

add\_field =\> { "timezone\_value" =\> "%{[fields][timeZone]}"}  
This syntax gives value as

timezone\_value %{[fields][timeZone]}

Thanks,

---

Since you have `fields_under_root: true` the fields don't end up as subfields of `fields`.

Note that it doesn't appear that the `timezone` option supports all the timezone names that you have. See the documentation of that option.
