Time change when using jdbc input plugin in logstash

Question

I have a column create_time which value is '2018-01-12 16:27:59'; When I use jdbc input plugin in logstash to synchronous data to Elastic Search . The time has changed to '2018-01-12T08:27:59.000Z' in es. I know the timezone of es is UTC, which is different from my timezone. How can I fix the data? Here is my config file:

 input {
    jdbc {
      jdbc_connection_string => 'jdbc:mysql://*:3306/*?'
      jdbc_user => '*'
      jdbc_password => '*'
      jdbc_driver_library => 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.45-bin.jar'
      jdbc_driver_class => 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
      statement => 'select * from test where create_time > :sql_last_value'
      use_column_value => true
      tracking_column => "create_time"
      tracking_column_type => "timestamp"
      jdbc_default_timezone => "Asia/Shanghai"
      jdbc_fetch_size => "1000"
      schedule => '* * * * *'
    }
}
output {
    stdout {
        codec => json_lines
    }

    elasticsearch {
        hosts => 'localhost:9200'
        index => 'test-1 '
        document_id => "%{id}"
    }


}

You can set the date format you require in the mappings:

{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "properties": {
        "date": {
          "type":   "date",
          "format": "yyyy-MM-dd"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Refer Elastic Date Formats

You can also change the select statement and format the date as your require before sending it to logstash.
