Hi, I just started using this app today, and the data I receive when I search "sourcetype=airport" has the year 2013 for one airport and 2012 for another. I notice in the actual syslog data there isn't even year mentioned so is it being generated elsewhere?. Any thoughts on where I go to fix this?
Thx

Hi jjpeet,
this is probably because of the missing year in the airport syslog output.
Splunk uses the following precedence rules to assign timestamps to events:
TIME_FORMAT
, if provided. You configure the TIME_FORMAT
attribute in props.conf.TIME_FORMAT
was configured for the data, Splunk Enterprise attempts to automatically identify a time or date in the event itself. It uses the source type of the event (which includes TIME_FORMAT
information) to try to find the timestamp.Now what you can do, read about How to Configure time stamp recognition and adapt props.conf
to your needs.
hope this helps ...
