This is 1 of my log entries,

```
INFO 2017-05-16 17:24:11,690 views 14463 139643033982720 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.VoDrive&referrer=referral_code%3DP5E

```

This is my pattern ,

```
DJANGOTIMESTAMP %{YEAR}-%{MONTHNUM}-%{MONTHDAY} %{HOUR}:%{MINUTE}:%{SECOND}

DJANGOLOG %{LOGLEVEL:loglevel} %{DJANGOTIMESTAMP:timestamp},{INT:pid} %{WORD:origin} %{INT:id} %{INT:number} %{GREEDYDATA:action}

```

This is my logstash conf file,

```
    if[type] == "django" {
        grok {
         patterns_dir => ["/opt/logstash/patterns/"]
         match => ["message" , "%{DJANGOLOG}"]
        overwrite => ["message"]
        }
    }

```

But still this parser fails, what is wrong here ?

What am I lacking ? @magnusbaeck help ?

A quick glance says your timestamp is not correct, it's missing milliseconds.

Please don't do that. Magnus volunteers his time here and you wanting an answer doesn't mean you can just summon him as desired.
