The date timestamp is correct but the timing timestamp, it tag the timing as stated in the info after the GET statement.</P> <P>Extracted info from the logs:<BR /> xxxxx - 1234 [07/Aug/2014:07:15:01 _0800] "Get xxxxx/20140807141314...." 200 123 ....</P> <P>AT splunk, the event timestamp is:<BR /> 8/7/14<BR /> 14:13:14 PM xxxxx - 1234 [07/Aug/2014:07:15:01 _0800] "Get xxxxx/20140807141314...." 200 123 ....</P> <P>Would like to check how to ensure the event timestamp is the timestamp as stated in the square bracket instead of the timing found in the GET statement?
