Handy timestamp format extraction tool

[rturk]

Hi Splunkers!

This is less of a question, and more of a (hopefully) handy tip that I hope will answer peoples questions when they go looking for an answer to timestamp extraction issues, specifically when setting TIMESTAMP_FORMAT in props.conf.

If you're looking to get a timestamp in strptime/strftime format, I've found this site really useful:

http://www.strftime.net/

It's not owned/run by me, and as far as I can tell has no ads.

Hope it helps!

RT 🙂

Like I said, this is just to hopefully help people out - so I'll answer my own question 🙂
