Logstash not applying correct system time to ingestion timestamp

[Anthony_Zottola]

After doing more research and finding this: Logstash Syslog @timestamp incorrect - #7 by BenB196

I fixed the issue by adding the timezone to my syslog input:

input {
    syslog {
        port => 5014
        timezone => "America/New_York"
    }
}
