Monitoring Splunk

time stamp mismatch in csv files

I have a set if CSV files getting created every day, none of the CSV files have any default data or time printed within it, when i index the files i could see the data is getting index with different time stamps over the past date.

I have also used crcSalt=<SOURCE>

Soucettype is CSV and set to Current, 

But all the file has created date and last modified data is the same (example today's date.) but the data gets indexed with different timestamp

Splunk is trying to find timestamp information in those files even if it doesn't exist. If you know your data does not have a timestamp in it you can tell Splunk that by putting 

DATETIME_CONFIG = current

in the appropriate stanza of the props.conf file.  This props file must be installed on the first Splunk instance that parses the data - either a heavy forwarder or an indexer.  Be sure to restart the instance(s) after modifying the file.
