How to create a props.conf file for time format

bnichols024 · ‎12-10-2019

My timestamp is appearing as such:

2019-12-10T18:13:42-05:00

My props.conf file looks like this:

TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S-%:z

Is this correct? Some of my indexes are presenting a really strange date compared to the time stamp but I think the devices they are coming from my be in a different TZ. My next question would be how to convert to EST.

The minus sign is covered by %z so all you need is TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z.

I would add use %F and %T, so %FT%T%:z
