I am loading a csv file into elasticsearch using logstash. I used the date filter plugin to convert my date column to date type in my config file :  
date {  
match =\> ["DAY", "M/d/yyyy", "M/dd/yyyy", "MM/d/yyyy", "MM/dd/yyyy"]  
target =\> "DAY"  
locale =\> "en"

}  
every date indexed appears a day earlier then my data for example , 2018-10-2 is appearing 2018-10-1

All timestamps in Elasticsearch are stored in UTC timezone. The date filter will assume the dates/timestamps are in the local timezone by default (you can override this) and convert them top UTC.
