Hi All -

Am trying to chop a message and convert the string to Date using Ingest node , however able to get the date string from the message .. but the format is string in Elastic. Any help here would be much appreciated **[Am not using Logstash]**

**Original Message** : 2019-12-24 09:43 +00:00: Serving page: /signin

**event\_created** is extracted successfully as : 2019-12-24 09:43

**JSON**

curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/\_ingest/pipeline/fields\_extraction?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"description" : "parsing the input log to fields",  
"processors" : [  
{  
"dissect": {  
"field": "message",  
"pattern" : "%{event\_created} +%{extracted\_timezone}: %{log\_output}",  
"ignore\_failure" : true  
}  
},  
{  
"date": {  
"field" : "event\_created",  
"target\_field" : "event\_created",  
"formats" : ["yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm"],  
"timezone" : "London",  
"ignore\_failure" : true  
}  
}  
]  
}'
