Hi,

How do I display the correct syslog event timestamp in Splunk.

this is Syslog Event timestamp when display in Splunk with no_priority_stripping=true.

2019-11-14T14:34:02-08:00

I want to display like 11/14/2019 14:34:02

Below is the syslog event message.

<134>1 2019-11-14T14:34:02-08:00 CPM-1600-1-ECM-ITLAB server - - [meta sequenceId="39" enterpriseId="2634.1.17.16" vendorId="WTI"] CPM: CPM-1600-1-ECM-ITLAB, (AUDIT LOG) DATE-TIME: 11/14/19 14:34:02, USERNAME: super LOGOUT By /X SSH Port 22
host = CPM-1600-1-ECM-ITLAB source = udp:514 sourcetype = syslog

Looking forward to someone that can help out to resolve this issue.

... | fieldformat _time=strftime(strptime(_time, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:Z"), "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S") | ...
