Like this in props.conf:

TIME_PREFIX = ([^\|]*\|){3}(\D+\d+){3}\D+
TIME_FORMAT = %Y%B%d*%H:%M:%S
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 18

Deploy to your Indexers, restart all Splunk instances there and then verify by checking ONLY events that have been forwarded after the restarts.

Try this

TIME_FORMAT = %Y%B%d*%I:%M:%S
TIME_PREFIX = \d{4}\w+\d{2}\*\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}
