Please share the props.conf stanza for that sourcetype.

How is the timestamp different from _time?

Nothing wrong with those settings, although it's recommended to use SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false with LINE_BREAKER.  Do the indexer/HF and search head use the same props?  If the SH has KV_MODE=json then fields will be duplicated.

should_line_merge=false does not make any difference in output.

i am not using kv_mode=json in other places . still i am getting duplicate field values.
