Getting Data In

Is it possible to use the header in a csv file for timestamps?

I have a CSV file that has the following header:

ColumnName1, ColumnName2, Date1, Date2, Date3, Date4, Date5, Date6, and so on......

The first two columns describe my data and the rest of the columns consist of values for each of the different dates. Is there a way to get splunk to use the date columns as a timestamp for all of the values in each column?

In Splunk 6, you can choose one of the Date columns to use as the timestamp.
