Hi
I would like to know about the timestamp for the logstash output
simple conf file
input { stdin {}}
output {
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
}
[lee@server1 logstash-1.5.0]$ bin/logstash -f logstash-simple.conf
Logstash startup completed
ACCESS
{
"message" =\> "ACCESS",
"@version" =\> "1",
**"@timestamp" =\> "2015-06-29T13:10:55.276Z",**
"host" =\> "[server1.corp.com](http://server1.corp.com)"
}
I would like to know about this timestamp value
My server date and time
**Mon Jun 29 15:10:55 CEST 2015**
In timestamp
2015-06-29T13:10:55.276Z
The actual server time was 2015-06-2915:10 but in my output i could see the timestamp value is 2hrs behind. if i need to get my server timestamp. where i need to check and change .
Could anyone please suggest on this
Regards
lee

The `@timestamp` field is in UTC, as you can see from the "Z" suffix. Since you're apparently in UTC+2 the two-hour difference is expected.

That's up to your display layer. Kibana does this for you automatically based on the browser's timezone. The `@timestamp` field itself is by definition UTC.
