Meraki TA - Could not identify datetime field for input

Hello, 

I have a fresh install of splunk and Meraki TA App. 

I have configured several inputs in the App, however I am seeing a large number of these error messages under various inputs (for example, appliance_vpn_statuses, appliance_vpn_stats) in the following manner:

2025-02-24 03:12:56,971 WARNING pid=50094 tid=MainThread file=cisco_meraki_connect.py:col_eve:597 | Could not identify datetime field for input: cisco_meraki_appliance_vpn_statuses

Review the following attributes in props.conf for the configured sourcetypes.

Ensure that the datetime field in your data is correctly formatted and matches the expected format in Splunk.

Verify the "cisco_meraki_appliance_vpn_statuses" input are correctly configured to identify the datetime field

Review the configuration files (e.g., props.conf and transforms.conf) to ensure that the datetime field is properly defined.
