Getting Data In

How to configure props.conf for my sample data to recognize the correct timestamp and break the event after that?

Sample Log Data:

20150121
1
101834
10:18:34:794
2953 1

CN0010001
HARI1
GROUP.DEBIT.INT
1 I

150121101834794

How should I configure props.conf to take 150121101834794 as the timestamp and break the event after that.

Please try below

[logs]
TIME_PREFIX = 1\sI\s+
TIME_FORMAT = %y%m%d%H%M%S%3N

ya, I think this should work - but the text-formatting on this site seems to have messed up the answer here (for TIME_PREFIX).. it should instead be TIME_PREFIX = 1\s|\s+

but then again, you'll need to confirm the 1 | always appear just before the date/time string - otherwise you'll probably be better off using MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = ### - ### is some number of characters into the event Splunk should look for a timestamp
