Getting Data In

Creating a sourcetype keeps failing

I have a sourcetype that I have been trying to break my logs apart, but I keep getting:  Failed to parse timestamp:  Here is an example:

[ logs ]
CHARSET=UTF-8
EVENT_BREAKER_ENABLE=true
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\,\d{3}
MAX_EVENTS=135000
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=23
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=true
TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%3N
TRUNCATE=50000
TZ=America/New_York
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true

 

The logs look like they are broken correctly, but I still keep getting the error about the timestamp.

Here is an example of the logs:

2022-04-25 11:28:17,743 ERROR [148] Method:C1222.MessageProcessor.ProcessResponseMessage -- String[] {Unexpected Exception:

That seems correct definition except that I propose you to add 

TIME_PREFIX = ^

to splunk start to look timestamp from beginning of event.

Actually length of your timestamp is 24 not 23. So you must increase that

MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD at least 24, but better add it e.g. 30
