I am traying to filter a format date like below message log with grok, but not luck

```
01-NOV-2019 00:09:01 * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.10.84.62) 
(PORT=48482)) * <unknown connect data> * 12537

```

From debugger works but at the moment to restart logstash is just not showing the new fields filtered expected, like :

```
%{NOTSPACE} %{TIME}

```

Output:

```
{
  "NOTSPACE": [
[
  "01-NOV-2019"
]
  ],
  "TIME": [
[
  "00:09:22"
]
  ]
}

```

Any other better idea or advise ?

Thanks & Regards,  
Jorge

Filter configuration in logstash is

```
filter {
        grok {
   match => {"message" => ["%{NOTSPACE} %{TIME})"]}
  }
}
```

Remove the ) that comes after %{TIME}

here an example how is being indexed, seems there is a grok failure, but in logstash output is not reporting any error message, the message showing is the same which is tested on grok debugger to get the date without issues ...
