Greetings Everyone! 🙂

I have attached my output.

 ![forum](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/9/e97a3942f27bd2cd654040eaa2d236d422b17d7f.png)

I have got two Timestamps in my Log file , both of different format .

Please help me with the code so that I can achieve either of the following :

1. To eliminate one value and parse it using date filter .
2. To parse both the values and target the filtered values to @timestamp so that I can visualize in order to create Dashboard.

Well, we don't know the origin of the two timestamps so we can't give any advice about which of them should be kept. Just don't try to make `@timestamp` an array of timestamps.

Okay ,Thanks.  
I will only keep one of the values of the timestamp array
