I can't seem to get this working, logs are getting confused about the time format since it is Day Month Year.

the log is in /var/log/holly/alarms.20120307-001.log

07/03/12 17:33:54;test2

more props.conf
[source::/var/log/holly/*alarms*"]
TIME_PREFIX = ^ 
TIME_FORMAT = %d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S;

Grrr. I think I see the typo, the " at the see of the source.
