Hi, I have a challenge to parsing the timezone in my log. Here is an example of what the date looks like:  
2016-09-05 18:50:00(DST+01:00)

However the filter is not working, I am sure I am only missing a small piece of the puzzle, here is the filter:  
date {  
locale =\> "en"  
match =\> ["Start Time", "YYYY/MM/dd HH:mm:ss Z", "ISO8601"]  
timezone =\> "Africa/Windhoek"  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
add\_field =\> { "debug" =\> "timestampMatched"}  
}

I found the solution thank you:  
date {  
locale =\> "en"  
match =\> ["Start Time", "YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss('DST'Z)", "ISO8601"]  
timezone =\> "Africa/Windhoek"  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
add\_field =\> { "debug" =\> "timestampMatched"}  
}
