Hello,  
I'm having ELK 5.6.2 with redis 4.0.2.My environment like below,  
Filebeat (syslog) =\> Redis =\> Logstash =\>ES =\>Kibana  
Both machines are synchronized with time but @timestamp and system.syslog.timestamp are mismatched.so that I get 5.30 hrs previous (UTC) data. My time zone is Asia/Kolkata (UTC+5.30).  
Any suggestions?Thanks in advance.

I recommend using UTC as the timezone on all machines. Syslog does not include the timezone info in messages it logs which causes the problem. See [Filebeat 'system' module assumes UTC in ingest pipeline · Issue #3898 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3898)

Thank you, Andrew Kroh,  
My servers which are going to enable centralized log are configured in IST, so IST better for me. Let me try "[https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3898](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/3898)" .
