Why isn't the time being recognized?

A little bit strange as this time stamp is not being recognized -

This is because you did not set your base configs in props.conf and Splunk is guessing at your time format.

You should add this to your indexer(s), restart the Splunkd service and it will work properly.

[sourcetype]
TIME_PREFIX = ^ 
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3n

Great @skoelpin. So which format(s) is being detected without configurations?
