Hi, I have two different time values 2020-06-24 03:07:39,997Z 2020-06-24 03:07:39.990Z The first value has a comma(,) and the second value has a dot(.) How can I parse both the values. Any documentation on this?

Hi @VijaySrrie ,

you can leave Splunk to use the correct Time format without forcing a TIME_FORMAT in props.conf.

If Splunk doesn't know one of them add it to datetime.xml following the instructions at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/8.0.2004/Data/Configuredatetimexml

Ciao.
