Unable to extract timestamp from CSV file

I'm trying to extract timestamp exactly from the CSV for each event, but doesnt happen. It show only indexed time in the search head results. Anything I'm doing here wrong ?

Props.conf

[websense:cg:kv]
TIME_PREFIX ="(.*?1)","(.*?)"
TIME_FORMAT=[%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S]
TRANSFORMS-eliminate_header = eliminate_header
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = CSV
FIELD_DELIMITER = ,
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = Date,Time
HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER = 1

Transforms.conf

[eliminate_header]
REGEX = "Date"|"Time"|"Action"|"Category Name"|"Localized Country"|"Policy Name"
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

 

Sample event:

"16/02/2021","07:19:41","Allowed","Collaboration - Office","None","##DEFAULT_Policy","abc@ff.com","eer-ltp-55dd8","live.com","None","None","pptsgs.officeapps.live.com:443/","None","None","34.98.220.117","United States","52.109.124.129","United States","10.212.168.62","None","None","None","None","None","Unknown","Unknown","594","17711","18305.0","Endpoint (Proxy Connect)","Static Classification","None","443","None","Connect"

hi @rajasha,
Drop TIME_PREFIX and TIME_FORMAT.

[websense:cg:kv]
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = Date,Time
TRANSFORMS-eliminate_header = eliminate_header
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = CSV
FIELD_DELIMITER = ,
HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER = 1

 

If this reply helps you, an upvote/like would be appreciated.

Hi @manjunathmeti  

I implemented the same in HF, but no luck. Still I'm seeing the same Indexed time stamp for all events and not the timestamp present in the csv file for each row. Please help.
