Getting Data In

Time Format being ignored, why?

Sample log line date part:

Nov 16 22:48:36

props.conf on indexer


TIME_PREFIX = ^
TIME_FORMAT = %b %e %H:%M:%S
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 15

Time reported in Splunk - 11/17/13 12:48:36.000 AM

I use "%e" because the day field is populated without leading zero's.

What am I doing wrong?

1) Splunk is showing me the 'offset' time based upon my TZ setting.
2) For some reason, for this source type ONLY, splunk is showing the AM/PM declaration. Not sure why.
