I'm having trouble recognizing the timestamp for a logs with this structure,
(field timestamp appears = none in Splunk fields column)

Really unsure why Splunk was choking on this but rebuilding it from anew has it now working as expected.


cat local/props.conf
[spring_output]
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = ^FATAL|^DEBUG|^ERROR|^INFO|^TRACE|^WARN|^ WARN|^ INFO|^CRIT|^ CRIT
MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKAHEAD = 1
NO_BINARY_CHECK = 1
TIME_FORMAT = %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S,%3N
TIME_PREFIX = ^\s*([A-Z])\w+ \[.*]\s+
TZ = EST
pulldown_type = 1

Thanks somesoni2,
could have omitted that as it's only meant to speed up the indexing after I get the timestamp recognition working.
Unfortunately removing it still results in Splunk recognising 0 timestamps.

Just get rid of this
