How to configure Time Format from Epoch (13 digits)?

I am new to Splunk so please forgive me for what I do not know.  We are getting events with start=1661359208771 and need to covert it to a readable timestamp.  I have tried changing the below Timestamp format and prefix with no luck.  Any suggestions?

You had the right TIME_FORMAT the first time.  These settings should do it.

 

TIME_PREFIX = start=
TIME_FORMAT = %s%3N

If you need to experiment with ingest settings, try using the Add Data wizard.
