Hi folks,

I wanted to add the first field as timestamp :

150503;ULSTTTK073TTTXXX;XXXXXXXX;15/04/27;13:11:35  

but my stanza in my props.conf doesn't match this field...

[my_stanza]
TIME_FORMAT=%y%m%d
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = DDATFCT
TIME_PREFIX = 
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=50
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true
KV_MODE=none
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true

A transforms.conf is used to set FIELD_NAME with DDATFCT as first element.

Do I set a null TIME_PREFIX to force to recognize my timestamp fields ?
Be aware that time fields doesn't have any prefixe...
