How to remove the timezone from my field in a CSV file?

I'm fetching the data from a CSV file, but the issue with my data is that some of the values are in PDT and some are in PST.

The format is 2016-06-15 04:55 PM PDT. I just want all these values to be of same zone minus the time zone at the end. I want to display my data over a timechart.

Try this

| inputlookup xxx.csv | eval time=strptime(your_time_field,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %p %Z") | bin span=15m time | stats count by time | eval time=strftime(time, "%c")

Hope this can help:

|inputlookup xxx.csv | eval _time=strptime(your_time_field,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %p %Z") | timechart span=5m count

the display time zone will be the user time zone, same as server time zone by default
the time format could be found in

For some strange reason it is not showing any results.

could you remove |timechart span=5m count, and check if the _time is parsed correctly?

After I changed the name of my time field, _time is getting parsed.

Could you post your current search? Is the data from CSV being ingested to Splunk OR being used as lookup table OR direct csv access (inputcsv)?
