Hi,

How would I write Time_FORMAT and TIME_PREFIX for my Props Conf file for the following sample events. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Format based on your data is

%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S:%Q

and prefix is

([^\|]*\|){10}

which is looking for the 10th PIPE symbol in the data

Thank you so much, appreciated

I used this one as well. Only problem when I use this double pipe "||". If I use {9} without this "||" (i.e, replace "||" with "|") working as expected, but, getting error message when I have "||" in the events. Any help will be highly appreciated.
