AWS IoT Core parser time with time zone

Question

Hi everyone.
Someone can help me?
I try to convert using the parse time function (parse_time(String, Long[, String])) in AWS Iot Core Rule, but it always results as UTC GMT (00:00), even though my AWS Region is Sao Paulo (sa-east-1). 
How can I get local time using parse_time function as UTC-0300?

my Sql command used in Iot core rule is:
...
parse_time("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZ", timestamp()) as timeStamp,
...

Accepted Answer

Hi argollo. You need to pass the timezone as a third argument. That argument should be Joda-time: https://joda-time.sourceforge.net/timezones.html. Otherwise it defaults to UTC.

So `parse_time("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZ", timestamp(), 'America/Sao_Paulo')`.
