Hi,  
My input is a json with tis values:

windMaxTime: "10:10"  
dewpointMaxTime: "10:09"

date {  
match =\> ["stats[sinceMidnight][windMaxTime]","HH:mm"]  
target =\> "stats[sinceMidnight][windMaxTime]"  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
}  
date{  
match =\> ["stats[sinceMidnight][dewpointMaxTime]","HH:mm"]  
target =\> "stats[sinceMidnight][dewpointMaxTime]"  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
}  
date{  
match =\> ["stats[sinceMidnight][tempMinTime]","HH:mm"]  
target =\> "stats[sinceMidnight][tempMinTime]"  
timezone =\> "UTC"  
}

It works, but i have a lot of fields with name like xxxxxTime.

So, can i use a regular expression to convert field like xxxxxTime with value XX:XX in format DATE ???

Thank's a lot !

No, the date filter has no wildcard support. You could use a ruby filter though (or generate your configuration file from a template).
