We are facing data quality issue 
Sample internal log:
WARN messages in splunkd logs as follows DateParserVerbose - Failed to parse timestamp in first MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD (40) characters of event. Defaulting to timestamp of previous event (Thu May 4 13:02:33 2023). 

I saw some different kind of logs are reporting to production splunk
Sample log of production:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ New app   'esign-ec-api'                                                    +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ Initializing app  'esign-ec-api'                                                    +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pinging the JVM took 7 seconds to respond.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ starting app  'esign-ec-api'                                                    +

Hi

if that first part is your event,  then it haven’t any timestamp. For that reason your props.conf cannot match it.
