Dear experts,
I am generating a config file to parse a log file, which has date in the form of only MON dd.
e.g., Jun 11, Aug 01 etc
if i use the date filter, is there a way i can assign current year (2017) to this date?
appreciate your help on this!

That's what it does by default. I think it's a bit smarter than just using the current year; if you process a "Nov 18" date in Jan 2017 it'll assume that the correct year is 2016 rather than 2017.
