Getting Data In

Why am I getting error "Failed to parse timestamp" with my current TIME_FORMAT?

This may have been asked before, but I can't find answer that solves my problem.

First time using Splunk community edition. I upload a file with json records, each record has many fields, two of them are timestamp related:

createdAt: 2014/11/16 19:21:04 +0000
updatedAt: 2014/11/16 19:22:15 +0000

I used Timestamp format: %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S +0000

But I got error:

Could not use strptime to parse timestamp from ...Failed to parse timestamp. Defaulting to file modtime

Any idea what I have done wrong. Thanks.

You should use this:

TIME_FORMAT = %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S %z
