Hello All, I am having a problem with different timezones sending their information to elasticsearch/kibana. One of the logs that is sending is at UTC time however the elasticsearch box is at local time zone. The message is clearly sent at the time of the event however elasticsearch or kibana is indexing it so that only when its that time that will it show up. Is there a way to allow elasticsearch/kibana to be dynamic and read messages as they come in, rather than later ?

More information is needed. How are you sending the messages to Elasticsearch? Is Logstash involved? Kibana relies on the @timestamp field to be UTC. If your logs are in UTC too it sounds like something is interpreting them as local time and adjusting the timestamp accordingly before updating @timestamp. -- Magnus Bäck | Software Engineer, Development Tools [magnus.back@sonymobile.com](mailto:magnus.back@sonymobile.com) | Sony Mobile Communications -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
