hi all,  
Notably due to daylight savings time, the system clock has been adjusted forward one hour but the logstash log time did not changed. In the below example the time of log is "16:38:43" which should be "17:38:43". How can i handle this issue? any advice will be so appreciated. Many thanks.

If you tell the date filter the right timezone it should take care of daylight saving (if applicable) when converting to UTC.
