I am having trouble getting the correct dates in my logstash config. I have the following as my "date" filter:

```
date {
    locale => en
    match => ["msr_open_date_time" , "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS", "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z" , "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS" , "yyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSSZ" , "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ", "ISO8601"]
}

```

and here is the value of source:

```
{
"site_street": "64 PLAINS ROAD",
"msr_troubleshoot_comments": "Test stuff",
"serialNumber": 7676,
"msra_call_type": "WT",
"msr_tech_id": null,
"mcl_mp_id": null,
"siteName": "Yummy Food Mart",
"site_zip": "06613",
"site_city": "TILLTON",
"msr_open_date_time": "2017-08-18T12:54:00.000Z",
"msra_serial_num": "OE012081",
"tags": [
  "sql",
  "_dateparsefailure"
],
"site_phone": "203243",
"site_st": "VT",
"@timestamp": "2017-10-27T17:08:38.285Z",
"contr_name": "John F Kennedy",
"@version": "1",
"siteId": "193627",
"msra_action_id": "10581519",
"msra_model_num": "PA0324PB52A",
"msric_comment": null
}

```

Can someone tell me why it's not accepting the **msr\_open\_date\_time** as a valid date?

When the Logstash date filter fails it'll log a message with clues.
