I have a event that are generated in csv format with timestamp within file name as mentioned below. Need to extract timestamp from the file and create new column as _time. Need rex query to extract the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

 

D:\automation\miscprocess\test_utilization_info_20240618_195509.csv

Do you mean you have loaded the csv into a lookup or that the csv has been ingested into an index and there is a source field associated with each event with the file name in?

The CSV files are generated by automation which generated the server status with filename when the file was generated.  There is not timestamp generated in the file so I have to use file generation time stamp in the naming convention.

This is file content. This contnt does not have timestamp for each entries. So I have to use the file timestmap for each entries within csv file
