Hi All,

Need assistance in assigning the date in a CSV column to the timestamp

The sample set of the field is as below

The config used is as below

and the output is as below in stdout console, where the data is not assigned to the timestamp, ans its picking the time the data is getting indexed.

The `Time Closed` field includes the time but your date pattern doesn't.
