Hi, I am looking to ingest a custom set of logs and i need some help with a grok date format.  
I would like to convert the following date as the timestamp

19 April 2022 15:38:20

Any help would be appreciated. I have been testing using the Grok Debugger, but hitting a bit of a wall.

Any ideas?

Hi ,

did you try this custom pattern,

```auto
TimeStamp %{MONTHDAY} %{MONTH} %{YEAR} %{TIME}

```

and the pattern is

```auto
%{TimeStamp:timestamp}

```
