Hi

i am trying to extract time stamp from a log file
the time stamp in the file is

Mar 25, 2017 10:00:01 PM IDT
and i am using that Timestamp format %b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %p %Z

but Splunk couldn't recognize IDT (Israel Daylight Time) as legal TimeZone

Consider adding TZ_ALIAS = IST=GMT+02:00, IDT=GMT+03:00 to your props.conf file.
