In a testing environment and can't get ride of this annoying triangle (Failed to parse timestamp. Defaulting to file modtime).

Here is a copy of my data:

{
"Phone_Number": "315-788-5129 x1967",
"First_Name": "Alvera",
"Last_Name": "Beier",
"User_Id": 0,
"Country": "Bahamas",
"ZipCode": "75876",
"Full_Name": "Hans Volkman",
"IP": "191.223.4.118",
"Date": "1997-06-14T02:06:55.205Z",
"Domain": "jevon.us",
"Email": "Rosemarie@kristian.ca"
}

And here is a copy of my last props.conf

description=JavaScript Object Notation format. For more information, visit http://json.org/
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)
TIME_FORMAT=strptime(%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3QZ)
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS=field10
TIME_PREFIX="DATE" : \d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}Z
TRUNCATE=999999

You appear to be working with a few misconceptions.

TIME_FORMAT is just a format string. Functions are not processed, but are considered part of the time string.
TIME_PREFIX should be the text that comes before the timestamp. It is also a literal string.
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS doesn't apply since you are not using INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS.

Try these settings:

description=JavaScript Object Notation format. For more information, visit http://json.org/
disabled=false
pulldown_type=true
LINE_BREAKER=([\r\n]+)
TIME_FORMAT=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3NZ
TIME_PREFIX="DATE" : "
TRUNCATE=999999
