Discard log lines that do not start with a timestamp

Is there a property that would allow me to discard log lines that don't start with a timestamp? I realize that I can nullqueue them based on not matching a pattern, but I thought I remembered seeing something specifically pre-defined for timestamps.

Thanks

No, there is no special way to handle this other than to use a regex to direct the lines to the null queue.
