I have some log file for example this:
{logtimestamp: Mar 29, 2019 11:43:22:948 AM SEVERE: ############SESSION JVM }
As I want to use the timestamp in the log file, I use a data filter to match it
date {
match =\> ["logtimestamp","MMMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss a"]
target =\> "dateformat"
}
But when I look into Kibana, I didn't find "dateformat" index.
I also tried with this, but i didn't get
match =\> ["logtimestamp", "MMMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss:SSS"]
if i remove AM | PM then its working correct, but the problem is how we can identify when it happen.
Can somebody tells me how to fix this?

You need to match the milliseconds too
```
match => ["logtimestamp", "MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss:SSS a"]
```
