I have a requirement where I need to use specific date/time for a testing at Ruby scripts and not at Logstash level. Is there a way i could stub those value?

Currently I am using the enviorment variable to check if it is `test` then use `x` date if not then use current datetime.

Is there a better way to configure logstash for different env.
