TIME_PREFIX regex help

Hi,

I seem to be incapable of figuring out what regex to provide in the TIME_PREFIX for my source type in order to recognize the second time stamp instead of the first.

Please see a sample event below

"Jun 04 2013 12:00:00:001AM","5333079266","310410257633304","8","Jun 03 2013 03:55:43:000PM"

Thanks

Hello wouterr,

I think as you said bmacias84, and may be set as follows.

TIME_PREFIX=","

OR

TIME_PREFIX=,"

I see you have two timestamps so you want the second timestamp used for _time? if so try


TIME_PREFIX=","
TIME_FORMAT=%b %d %Y %I:%M:%S:%3N:%r
