TIME_FORMAT = %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
TIME_PREFIX = ^M\s+

I don't know how you want to break your events though. Can u tell me the first/last line in an event??

Thanks sshelly for your command.

I have used above TIME_FORMAT and TIME_PREFIX, it is not working

Please find the first line and last line of the events. Please check and provide solution as we have lot of with below format.

trc file: "dev_w0", trc level: 1, release: "742"

B dbsync[db_syexe]: wait=0, call_no=14656, current_ts=20171007133452, last_counter=-2132741714

Try these props.conf settings:

TIME_FORMAT = %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
TIME_PREFIX = ^M\s+
LINE_BREAKER = ()trc file
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 500

You are restarting Splunk after making props.conf changes, right? Also, the changes only apply to newly-indexed events.
What struggles are you having with the timestamp configuration?
