Date parsing failed

[cilzzz (Sylvio de cezare)]

Hello

i have an oracle log file and i need to parse the date in a field named backup_start
the date format in this field is like this 04-12-2017 20:30

and my config is

date {
                  match => ["backup_start", "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"]
                  timezone => "Europe/Paris"
}

All the dates in this field belong to this month, while checking my kibana all the dates in this field belong to today. i checked my logstash log file there is no error or warning? what is the problem should my date field contains seconds also ?

thank you!

Please show an example event produced by Logstash. Copy/paste from Kibana's JSON tab.
