I have multiple Logstash config(forti.conf, cisco.conf) in logstash conf directory

Both configs have logTime field  
add\_field =\> { "logTime" =\> "%{year}-%{month}-%{day} %{time}" }

In Kibans \> query \> index of cisco log \>  
logTime field is 2019-Mar-28 02:39:24.778, 2019-Mar-28 02:39:24.778

Why?

part of log  
Mar 28 2019 11:00:08.818 UTC or  
\*Mar 28 2019 11:00:08.818 UTC

part of conf  
grok {  
match =\> [  
"message", "\<%{NONNEGINT:syslog5424pri}\>(%{NUMBER:log\_sequence})?: %{GREEDYDATA:devhostname}: %{MONTH:month} %{MONTHDAY:day} %{YEAR:year} %{TIME:time} %{TZ:timezone}: %%{CISCO\_REASON:facility}-%{INT:severity\_level}-%{CISCO\_REASON:facility\_mnemonic}: %{GREEDYDATA:description}",  
"message", "\<%{NONNEGINT:syslog5424pri}\>(%{NUMBER:log\_sequence})?: %{GREEDYDATA:devhostname}: \*%{MONTH:month} %{MONTHDAY:day} %{YEAR:year} %{TIME:time} %{TZ:timezone}: %%{CISCO\_REASON:facility}-%{INT:severity\_level}-%{CISCO\_REASON:facility\_mnemonic}: %{GREEDYDATA:description}"  
]  
add\_field =\> { "logTime" =\> "%{year}-%{month}-%{day} %{time}" }  
}  
date {  
match =\> [  
"logTime",  
"yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS",  
"yyyy-MMM-d HH:mm:ss.SSS"  
]  
timezone =\> "%{timezone}"  
}

I am using pipeline to separate two conf,  
Now the problem was solved.
