Ive added a new database connection to DB connect. My first actually. the dbx.log has the following message associated with the rows that are being processed.

2014-01-03 20:12:43.640 dbx1434:WARN:ResultSetOutputPayload - Unrecognized timestamp format: '2013-12-08 21:41:17.000'

I have tried various items suggested on the forum but, it does not seem to go away.

you may configure the timestamp format for this dbmon/dbtail/dbdump?

The timestamp format expressed as a Java SimpleDateFormat pattern. The default format is configured in the Splunk DB Connect app setup.

it looks like the warning is being logged when the data is indexed. Data is getting indexed but not with the preferred date/time stamp that would make it usefule.

Is the problem just that the warning is being logged, or is the data not being indexed as expected?
