How to ingest elapsed time

My file contains data like this:

85119.805: [GC pause (G1 Evacuation Pause) (young) 218M->81M(256M), 0.0159821 secs]
87180.697: [GC pause (G1 Evacuation Pause) (young) 220M->82M(256M), 0.0115120 secs]

Where the number at the beginning of each line is the elapsed seconds since the file was opened.

How do I ingest this into a date/time stamp?

You cannot. The best you can do is use DATETIME=CURRENT in props.conf.
