Visualize a chart with time filter with 5/6 hours of difference

[Sameer_Panicker]

I have a DateTime field named occurredOn which will tell me when the exception occurred on a machine. The issue at present is that the logs have the correct timestamp but when it gets into Kibana it automatically treats it as UTC. For e.g.

Log Time Stamp - 2020-03-10T12:30:35
Kibana Time Stamp – March 10th 2020, 07:30:35.000

When creating the visualization, I would like to have the filter in such a way that it converts the time and then retrieve the actual chart. Is there a way I can do this ? May be a scripted field inside Kibana visualization.

All dates are stored in UTC (as milliseconds since the epoch, when using a date datatype). Kibana uses the browser timezone, you can change that, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/advanced-options.html

You can modify your queries or use an ingestion pipeline to get your data properly converted

Some more discuss posts around it suggesting same thing. : Date field saved as default timezone
