Hi,

I have data that looks like this

2018-06-11 23:37:11,035 pool-10-thread-1 DEBUG c.i.w.i.s.WholesaleCVRService

2018-06-11 23:37:09,386 pool-10-thread-1 DEBUG c.i.w.i.s.WholesaleCVRService - In register camera update event, with accessToken 

2018-06-11 23:37:07,763 pool-10-thread-1 DEBUG c.i.w.i.s.WholesaleCVRService - Reponse of camera update event 

I need to be able to extract out the date and time on each event . (i.e. 2018-06-11 23:37:11,035)

If the data is going into Splunk correctly, then you should have the time in the variable _time as well as getting access to each of the fields named date_* for the year, month, day, hour, minute, second. You would not get the sub-second value automatically. The _time field can be output in any number of formats. So you should have that same data available to you without having to use a regex.

If on the other hand you have need of that date specifically, then you can use a regex (like that provided by @kamiesh_veghela). Do you need that date broken up into different fields? If so, that is another regex, but can be done easily enough.
