Date format rejected, no apparent reason why

Hello, I am trying to understand the following error:
The main problem is at the bottom of the error:

Invalid format: \"2018-03-11 02:48:31\" is malformed at \" 02:48:31\"

[2018-03-21T15:59:35,601][WARN ][logstash.outputs.elasticsearch] Could not index event to Elasticsearch. {:status=>400, :action=>["index", {:_id=>"1995397226128", :_index=>"unifieddxcvpc", :_type=>"doc", :_routing=>nil}, #<LogStash::Event:0x3863e85>], :response=>{"index"=>{"_index"=>"unifieddxcvpc", "_type"=>"doc", "_id"=>"1995397226128", "status"=>400, "error"=>{"type"=>"mapper_parsing_exception", "reason"=>"failed to parse [datetime]", "caused_by"=>{"type"=>"illegal_argument_exception", "reason"=>"Invalid format: \"2018-03-11 02:48:31\" is malformed at \" 02:48:31\""}}}}}

The logstash date mapping does handle this date format. Here is my mapping:

date {
  target => [ "datetime" ] 
  match => [ "datetime", "yyyy-MM-dd", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", "yyyy-MM-dd:HH:mm:ss" ]
}

So I don't see why logstash will consider this data malformed. Here is the entry the error refers to (you can see "2018-03-11 02:48:31" clearly in here:

"EMEA";"Spain";"Barcelona";"ACR";"NONE";"VDI";"NONE";"NONE";"NONE";"domain";"Compute-DC";"text1";"1995397225952";"2018-03-11 02:48:31";"_TX4O0CTOEeiiGuzjU82SIA";"SP102-HAVS-LG-00203";"4232c628-94a1-032c-7665-476329da6cac";"MOVE";"PENDING_ACCEPT";"MANUAL";"30";"0";"0";"l2a2-3b19-u03-b08.acr.ecs.hp.com";"l2a2-3b19-u14-b08.acr.ecs.hp.com";"Mem congestion on Physical Machine 'l2a2-3b19-u03-b08.acr.ecs.hp.com'";"False";"Mem Congestion";"Performance Assurance";"Major"

I will try to change the order of the mapping matches, but it's supposed to keep trying all the mappings until it succeeds, no?

Your advice is much appreciated.
Best,
JD

Daylight savings time? Where I live there was no 02:48 on 3/11. We skipped straight from 01:59 to 03:00.

You could test if 01:48 and 03:48 parse correctly.
