It works for me...

```
 "Timestamp" => "Wed Dec 02 11:11:03 Asia/Riyadh 2020",
"@timestamp" => 2020-12-02T08:11:03.000Z

```

The reason you are seeing `_dateparsefailure` might be because of `\r` at the end in your `message` field.

```
time:Wed Dec 02 02:53:39 AST 2020
{
    "@timestamp" => 2020-12-01T23:53:39.000Z,
          "time" => "Wed Dec 02 02:53:39 Asia/Riyadh 2020",
       "message" => "time:Wed Dec 02 02:53:39 AST 2020",
      "@version" => "1",
}
time:Wed Dec 02 02:53:39 AST 2020\r
{
    "@timestamp" => 2020-12-10T08:57:46.645Z,
          "time" => "Wed Dec 02 02:53:39 Asia/Riyadh 2020\\r",
       "message" => "time:Wed Dec 02 02:53:39 AST 2020\\r",
      "@version" => "1",
          "tags" => [
        [0] "_dateparsefailure"
    ]
}
