Extract timestamp when there is only a year and month

Hi

I've got a csv file where the first line contains the field names and the rest are separate events but the first column is year and the second is month. There are no other time-based fields i.e. day, hour, etc so I am having difficulty in creating a _time field.

Does anyone know how I can generate a _time field using only year and month? The day, hour, etc are irrelevant.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried something like this in props.conf?

[mysourcetype]
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = year,month
TIME_FORMAT = %Y,%m

Hi

Yes, it doesn't recognise it because it isn't a full date format
