Timeparsing issues

Hello all,

I'm having a time parsing issue that I don't know how to fix and am looking for some help.

My inputs on the syslog looks like this:

[monitor]
index = *
no_appending_timestamp = true
host_segment = 5
disabled = false

My Props for this source type is configured by a TA. But the problem I'm having in the logs were from changes in our syslog system.

The new log looks like Dec 14 08:50:19 bxxm-itb.net.xxx.xxx 1,2021/12/14 08:50:18,

How do I configure props to tell splunk to ignore the first timestamp, skip the host fqdn and then parse the second time?

you have to add to your props.conf the following options:

[your_sourcetype] TIME_PREFIX = , TIME_FORMAT = %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S

Ciao.
