I have logs that send from syslog server, so there are 2 timestamps. I would like to use 2nd timestamp to be _time by using TIME_PREFIX. However, it doesn't match if the log come from syslog. It's match if using monitor file.

My props.conf is

[syslog]
TIME_PREFIX = ^\w+\s\d+\s\d+\:\d+\:\d+\s\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\s
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 16

@karn, you seem to have a whitespace before first timestamp. If that is actually present in your logs you should try the following:

TIME_FORMAT=%b %d %H:%M:%S
TIME_PREFIX=^\s+\w+\s\d+\s\d+\:\d+\:\d+\s\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+\s
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD=15
