configuring TIME_FORMAT

Hello, our logs have ISO 8601 date format with shorted year (YY instead of YYYY): "12-08-06 04:42:10". It is 6 of August 2012 but Splunk think it is 12 of August 2006.

I've added to props.conf:
TIME_FORMAT = %y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
but this didn't change anything.

the full config:


[source::/var/log/access*]
#12-08-03 19:48:40 "user1|g" 1.2.3.4 "CONNECT www.example.com:443"
EXTRACT-access = ^(?P<datestamp>[^ ]+) (?P<timestamp>[^ ]+) "(?P<auth_user>[^|])|(?P<profile>[^"])" (?P<src_ip>[^ ]+) "(?P<method>[A-Z]+) (?P<url>[^"]+)"
TIME_FORMAT = %y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

any idea how to configure?

thanks

Your logs are not using ISO 8601. It specifies four-digit years. There is no provision in it for a two-digit year.

I downvoted this post because op stated the exception, and the comment does nothing to answer the question.

sorry for misleading, the html tags come from Markdown and doesn't belong to the config.

this ist the log line:
12-08-03 19:48:40 "user1|g" 1.2.3.4 "CONNECT www.example.com:443"
this is the props.conf (I've removed the EXTRACT expression for clarity):

[source::/var/log/access*]
TIME_FORMAT = %y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
