Hello, i am wondering to know where is the @timestamp value set. Because i have a lot of nodes sending logs to my logstash but not all the nodes have the same timezone, so i am wondering to know if i set the logstash node to utc, the value in @timestamp is going to be in utc, or the value is set before arriving logasth.

Regards

`@timestamp` is always UTC.
