In my Splunkd log for one of our webspheres I'm finding multiple entries with;

DateParserVerbose - Failed to parse timestamp. Defaulting to timestamp of previous event ...

Please can anyone advise what might be the fix for this?

Do I need to create my own sourcetype? with props.conf?

Just insert this line inside your props sourcetype section:

DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT

your timestamp extraction not working properly, make changes in props.conf http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Propsconf

When I use data preview - should I see the issue? Are the green values highlighted the problem or a good match on timestamp?
