Getting Data In

Splunk DB Connect 1: Why is my inputs.conf configuration not changing the time format of timestamps (ex: 1355293814.207) for data fetched from MS SQL?

In inputs.conf file of local folder, I changed this, but the format is not being applied.

index = default
output.format = csv
output.timestamp = 0
output.timestamp.column = CreateTime
output.timestamp.parse.format = yyyy-MM-dd' 'HH:mm:ss.SSS' 'Z
output.timestamp.format = yyyy-MM-dd' 'HH:mm:ss' 'Z
query = SELECT RequestID,TransactionID,PWMTrxID,CreateTime FROM TRANSACTIONS limit=10
table = TRANSACTIONS
tail.rising.column = CreateTime

There are also several other interesting answers which I found when I used Google to search for:
splunk answers output.timestamp.format

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!

thanks rsennett_splunk -- my general advice for this sort of thing is to switch to SQL formatting if SPL formatting isn't working, and vice versa.

DB Connect 2 has some nice GUI options for getting time formatting figured out, that might be a good choice here too.
