I have a file that I'm trying to get the date right on - but am not having much success, and haven't been able to find a solution as yet.
Time stamp format is as below:
09/23 16:30:01.55
This is at the start of the event line with other information following.
I have tried using: TIME_FORMAT=%d/%m %H:%M:%S.%2N
however, this gives me: 9/20/01 6:24:41.550 AM
2 things I would like to try and achieve are:
You could try using the convert command.
convert timeformat=%d/%m ctime(Time)
This should work I think, I've used it in a graph to change the time stamp, but not the date, I think it should still apply.
Thanks Mark,
Am I able to use convert at index time?
I have tried your suggestion, but does seem to make any different to the Timestamp being generated.
Hi Kozanic,
Do you mean at the time that it indexes the file? If so, I don't think you can, but it can be used in search queries,
Otherwise I think you could use this solution; http://answers.splunk.com/answers/525/how-can-i-change-the-time-format-in-splunk-web.html
Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks sk314, I hadn't, but I have tried and it doesn't seem to be working for me - not sure if I'm doing it wrong somehow.
Will continue to play and see what I can work out.
have you looked at this answer? http://answers.splunk.com/answers/37896/date-without-year-wrong-index.html
Minor edit:
TIME_FORMAT=%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%3N
