Hi,

I have this time format in logfile:  
time\_stamp=[30/Apr/2021:15:23:46+0200]

When I use the date plugin:

```auto
   kv {
       source => "message"
       field_split => "|"
    }
    date {
     match => ["time_stamp", , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ssZ"]
     target => "@timestamp"
     locale => "en"
   }

```

This is not working, the doc is not visible in ES.  
Any idea what I did wrong?

thx!
