Hi ,
I need to convert the log UTC to my local time in IST .
Used ruby Filter to convert to local time .
My filter in logstash.yaml file
filter {
ruby {
code =\> "event.set('new\_date', event.get('[@timestamp]').time.localtime.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%L'))"
}
output
"@timestamp" =\> 2021-05-06T09:30:47.785Z"
"new\_date" =\> "2021-05-06 09:30:47.785",
I am not seeing any difference after conversion .
Follow this [How to set @timestamp timezone?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-set-timestamp-timezone/28401) also but no use for my scenario.
system time
timedatectl
Local time: Thu 2021-05-06 15:06:50 IST
Universal time: Thu 2021-05-06 09:36:50 UTC
RTC time: Thu 2021-05-06 09:36:52
Time zone: Asia/Kolkata (IST, +0530)
NTP enabled: no
NTP synchronized: no
RTC in local TZ: no
DST active: n/a
Any kind of help is much appreciated .
Thank you in advance .
