We are getting events from one of our application ,But the indexed time and event logged time is different ,Please let me know how to fix this timestamp issues. I guess need to use props.conf timestamp settings.

Sample event :

I viewed it in list mode

Time
6/6/18
11:28:09.000 AM

EVENT
20 6 Jun 6 11:28:09 hostname TAG: Hostd: info hostd [abcd@111] Test Backup succeeded

Likewise all the events are generated

If i viewed in Raw mode :

20 6 Jun 6 11:28:09 hostname TAG: Hostd: info hostd [abcd@11] Test Backup succeeded.

I don't see anything wrong with the time either. It may help if you included a screenshot or something. Both timestamps are 11:28:09. What's the issue?

I'm not sure I see what's wrong. I see no year in your raw event, so from where would Splunk get a value to use other than "The current year?"

Unless - is the "20 6" supposed to be "2006" or "2016" or "2026" or something?

Do you have any control over the format of the raw events?
