Hello,  
I am parsing a log with this format :

> 2019-04-19 12:00:05.17 FCC7-APS01-B Collector[71] [Info] Publisher.TransmitterServiceAlivePolicy - Transmitter service is Alive.

I applied a grok filter :

> match =\>{  
> "message" =\>"%{TIMESTAMP\_ISO8601:Date}%{SPACE}%{GREEDYDATA:Message}"  
> }

Then as suggested in similar topics i applied the date filter :

> date {  
> match =\> ["Date" , "ISO8601"]  
> target =\> "@timestamp"  
> }

Yet i still don't get the @timestamp with the log's timestamp, instead it has the time of when it was parsed by Elastic.

Any help wil be apperciated .

I get

```
"@timestamp" => 2019-04-19T12:00:05.170Z,

```

with those filters.

</div>

when i delete the date part, i get the logs parsed but with the ES timestamp, when i add the date filter, filebeat keeps sending logs but i get nothing with kibana.  
any idea what's the problem in my code ?

In Kibana, are you sure you have the date picker set to a range that include April?
