Can you try something like this:

MAX_DAYS_HENCE = 10950
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 100000
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
TIME_FORMAT = %s
TIME_PREFIX = TimeStamp\"\":

MAX_DAYS_HENCE is optional , I just use this because the sample event you provide has future time.

I would suggest giving below link a read to understand how the timestamp recognition works in Splunk and what all props.conf attributes that can be set.

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/Data/Configuretimestamprecognition

For your log file, give this a try

props.conf on Indexer/Heavy Forwarder whichever comes first in data flow

[yourSourceTypeNameHere]
...Line Breaking configuration...
TIME_PREFIX = Timestamp[^\:]+\:
TIME_FORMAT = %s
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 10

Your timestamp is May 6, 2023, is this just a sample value or actual timestmap on the logs?
