Hello,

I am attempting to parse out a timestamp from syslog. The timestamp comes out to  
`2024-02-04 02:04:03+00:00`

Using the date filter how would I be able to take into account the suffix "`+00:00`"

Try

```auto
date {
        match => ["message", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZZ"]
       # target => "@timestamp"
 }

```
