Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to extract date and time in a specific format.
The date in the logs are in this format.

26.11.2015;193245932

The format is dd.MM.yyyy;hhmmssSSS

Am I able to specify how this field should be interpreted?
And if YES, how do I need to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
pyro_wood

You would specify this in props.conf for your sourcetype:

TIME_FORMAT = %d.%m.%Y;%H%M%S%3N
