Use import date/time

Hi,

Is there a way to use the import date and time vs. having splunk try to interpret a date in the event? The date in our event is meaningless as far as using it for any data analysis.

There is an attribute in props.conf called DATETIME_CONFIG which you can set to value CURRENT and Splunk will treat current time (time of import) as the event timestamp.

...line breaking configs..
DATETIME_CONFIG = CURRENT
