I have installed winlogbeat on 1 server. This server is configured with GMT-8 timezone - PST.

But I see that @timestamp contains the date converted from GMT-7 (PDT).

Timestamps reported by Winlogbeat are in UTC. How are you viewing the data? Kibana renders dates using the brower's local timezone. Can you check the raw event as stored in ES (such as using `GET winlogbeat-*/_search`)?

The problem was in daylight saving 1 hour. the timezone is GMT-8, but there is 1 hour because of the daylight saving
