Hi Gurus,

Could you please suggest me how to get the timezone on to the '@timestamp' where i have my configuration which work fine but the time zone is not displayed when i run the config file in logstash(actually i am testing the logdate which contains like this: Mon May 30 00:30:26 PDT 2016.  
Here is my config code:  
input { stdin { codec =\> plain } }

filter {  
grok {  
match =\> [  
"message",  
"(?%{MONTH} %{MONTHDAY} %{TIME} %{YEAR})"  
]  
}  
date {  
match =\> ["mytimestamp", "MMM dd HH:mm:ss YYYY"]  
locale =\> "en"  
target =\> "@timestamp"  
timezone =\> "America/Los\_Angeles"  
add\_tag =\> ["tsmatch"]  
}  
}

output { stdout { codec =\> rubydebug } }

The o/p is ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/8/8247e9deb1f79fdf0f0081088fac2f6717375c8c.png)  
Even my code working fine but without Timezone(i.e PDT) here ..  
but my requirement is to get timezone on '@timestamp'..

Great Thanks,  
Jagan

The `@timestamp` field is always UTC, which is denoted by the final "Z". See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO\_8601#UTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#UTC).
