Splunk rounding up timestamps

[jmaslowski]

Hi,

Problem here is that on one host splunk properly recognizes the timestamps in the log file which is in miliseconds since epoch. Unfortunately it seems that on other hosts the time stamp is being rounded up to the whole seconds so instead of 1370954157984 being 2:35:57.984 PM it is 2:35:58.000
Any ideas

You will have to modify your props.conf file for that source using time TIME_FORMAT

TIME_FORMAT = %s%6N

Here is the orginal post- epoch-time-millisecond-lenght-longer-than-standard.

Hope this helps or gets you started.

Cheers
