Hello,

I'm trying to set up the `@timestamp` based on a log date. The date in the log is in Delhi timezone but the one stored in the `@timestamp` (or another field created to store it) is in London timezone.

Here is my logstash configuration:  
`filter { date { match => ["01_date , "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"] timezone => "Asia/Kolkata" } }`

I even tried with the `locale => "inc"`

None of them worked. Can someone help?

Thanks,  
Noemie

The `@timestamp` field is _always_ UTC. Kibana will by default adapt to the browser's timezone.

Hello,

The only thing here, for me, was to change my browser settings to Delhi timezone. When you try to convert in Logstash, it won't change a thing for Kibana. I did not try a convert using a mathematical operation on the date to add the jet lag depending on the timezone specified in the log or in the date filter. Maybe it can work but I'm not sure at all 😕
