Using elasticsearch 6.3.1  
logstash 6.3.1

I m using logstash to transfer data from mysql to elasticsearch But i realized that the time field is confused.There is a field named 'gmt\_create' , it s '2018-07-13 16:50:04' in mysql and it's '2018-07-13T21:50:04.000Z'.It is 5 hour faster than mysql's. and mysql's time-zone is

| system\_time\_zone | CST |
| --- | --- |
| time\_zone | SYSTEM |

and the logstash's timestamp is 8 hour lesser than the moment.  
statement =\> "select \* from wxhc\_agent\_exhibition\_park\_info where gmt\_modify \>= :sql\_last\_value"  
schedule =\> "\* \* \* \* \*"  
record\_last\_run =\> true

```
      use_column_value => false

      tracking_column => "gmt_modify"
    
      tracking_column_type => "timestamp"

      last_run_metadata_path => "./logstash_capital_bill_last_id"

      clean_run => false

      lowercase_column_names => false
      jdbc_default_timezone =>"Asia/Shanghai"

```

and the server's timezone is (date -R)  
`Mon, 24 Dec 2018 17:52:31 +0800`  
all the answers is talking about cst to utc ，8hours . But how 's the 5-hours coming from ?  
plz help me this really confusing me .

Hello,  
Please give mapping to all fields before inserting data from mysql to elasticssearch like,

> PUT indexname/  
> {  
> "mappings":{  
> "\_doc":{  
> "properties":{  
> "id":{  
> "type":"long"  
> },  
> "gmt\_create":{  
> "type":"date",  
> "format":"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> }

Hope this helps you to get correct date
