Hi ,

My timestamp in data looks like: 2020-07-02T18:00:18+02:00 with name log_modified_date which i want to be extracted

i have written below props.conf:

[_json]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = json
KV_MODE = none
AUTO_KV_JSON = false
NO_BINARY_CHECK = true
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = last_modified_date
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+%2N:%2N
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 25

and getting time extracted as : 

7/2/20
6:00:18.020 PM 


 but I want the time field extracted in same way as in data with + value as well like: 

 7/2/20
6:00:18+02:00 

Please let me know what i am doing wrong as i am not getting expected output with + value.

Note: this +02:00 value is fixed with every timestamp in data .

Here’s my sample log data:

Hi ,

Thanks for your quick response but it is also not giving output as expected.

using transforms.conf , you are adding +2:00 value in time and thats why when running it is giving output:

7/2/20
6:02:44.000 PM

But as I told I want :

7/2/20
6:00:44+02:00 PM

Exactly the same way as in sample log last_modified_date has value.

Please try to understand I don't want to add that value in time, i want in same format as mentioned .

Ahh that might work.

Could you please elaborate how and where to change in user preference and timezone(+02:00) ?

 

Thanks

Sorry that doesn't work I changed user preference and time zone (+2) but that too will change my time according to that time zone.

This is not what I want which i told several times.

I want +2:00 value included in my _time field that is same as log_modified_date field.

Hope now you understand what I want .

There is definitely some way through time format or transforms we can achieve this :

7/2/20
6:00:44+02:00 PM

 

Can anyone help me on this?
