Hi,

I have a question regarding timestamp. I have a lot of text logs with date and time  
I am parsing field %{DATE:date} %{TIME:time} and i get following format:

28.10.2019 14:10:10

Is it possible to put this value to @timestamp?

Thanks

Jan

Hi,

I have it solved by this way:

```
        mutate {
            add_field => {
                "newtimestamp" => "%{date} %{time}"
            }
        }
        date {
            match => ["newtimestamp","dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss"]
            target => "@timestamp"
        }

```

It works.
