Kibana 4 DateTime Local Value Display

Question

I store data in ElasticSearch, which looks something like this: "_source": {"realtimestamp": "2014-12-05", ...},

And I have users in different time zones creating Kibana 4 charts for viewing data. The problem is that we would like Kibana 4 charts to display time values ​​in the UTC and NOT time zones in the user's local time zone.

The image shows how the date value is now displayed (NOT in UTC):

Any idea how I can get Kibana 4 to display date values ​​in UTC to a user? THANKS! - Matt

K4B3 (beta 3) is still missing. I do not see much time zone support. Check out this ticket:

How about you doing this in your logistic filter

filter{ ... date{ match => ["dateHour", "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss"] timezone => "America/Sao_Paulo" } } 

Doing this Logstash will parse the dateHour element and send to Elasticsearch using the UTC time zone. Therefore, you can watch this data in Kiban.
