I get worng time data in my index in kibana there is around lot of difference in @timestamp and log\_timestamp field.

grok filter which i am using

```auto
          grok {
            match => ["message" , '%{IP:remote_addr} - - \[%{HTTPDATE:log_timestamp}\] "%{IPORHOST:http_host}" "%{WORD:request_method} %{DATA:uri} HTTP/1.1" %{NUMBER:response} %{NUMBER:bytes} (?:%{DATA:http_refer}|-) %{QS:agent} "(?:%{IPV4:upstream_addr}|-)" (?:%{NUMBER:upstream_connect_time}|-) (?:%{NUMBER:upstream_header_time}|-) (?:%{NUMBER:upstream_response_time}|-) (?:%{NUMBER:request_time}|-)' ]
            overwrite => ["message"]
          }
         mutate {
           convert => ["response", "integer"]
           convert => ["bytes", "integer"]
           convert => ["responsetime", "float"]
           rename => ["agent", "filebeat_agent"]
         }
         geoip {
           source => "remote_addr"
           add_tag => ["nginx-geoip"]
         }
         date {
           match => ["timestamp" , "dd/MMM/YYYY:HH:mm:ss Z"]
           remove_field => ["timestamp"]
# target => "@timestamp"
         }
         useragent {
           source => "agent"
         }
  }
}

```

To push log from client i am using filebeat nginx module with some fields. See below attached image you can see time difference in index

Is this your full configuration pipeline?

Your date filter is trying to match the field `timestamp`, but your `grok` does not create a field called `timestamp`, it creates a `log_timestamp`.

Have you tried using `log_timestamp` in your date filter?
